The bulb has water on it, and seems to be drooping. I immediatly looked at this and thought that through the storm, rain, and wind this bulb is still living. God is showing me that even through trial and storms there is still life in Him. He will never let us go and be with us through everything we have to deal with. Praise Him.
When I first saw this picture surprisingly a lot had come to my mind immediately. I saw all my struggles with my with my Christian walk and all the how hard it has been over the past few months. And felt that as soon as I looked at the picture that God was somehow telling me he has been there for it all and I haven’t been alone. Awesome Picture.
Never done this before…but it was so strange what I saw. I felt God telling me to make sure and take time to rest my mind, body and spirit and always be prepared for battle. Always!
I may struggle and fight to break from the cocoon I feel that I am in and I can not bloom until God has fully prepared me to do so. But in this current state, there is still beauty, a since of softness yet a struggle within to be free. But, as God feeds us with his love and His tears when we want to give up, there will be that day when I will bloom to the full beauty He has intended for me. A beauty that will glorify His overwhelming love, a beauty he will use so others will since His presence and see His face.
Awesome picture, Aloha…
My first thought was that God can make beauty from pain and tears.
This is an exercise that I haven’t done in a while… sitting and just listening. Good job Jim.
Calm surrender. I am identifying a calm surrender to what it is that God wants.
even though we feel like life beats us down and wears us out.. God is there to softly wash away out hurts and bring life and color to the areas where we have struggled and turn them around to help someone else that may be in the same position we once were.
Here’s my profound response…. wish I was in Hawaii!!
the word soaking came to mind. a flower soaks up water as we should soak up the word and spirit of God. we should be so saturated with him that it pours our of us.
these are awesome responses, we’ll have to do this again soon
