“Earth is crammed with Heaven.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Your Gift is like a Flower
You are beauty, you are grace, your colors shine for every face, your words are pure and filled with life, to God be the praise! Your aromatic scent remains deep within our hearts, stirring us to unfold the beauty of our soul, making us whole. His word says TRUST and so we MUST for the Christ within us all will appear when your words declare; Lord I am here, USE ME!
Although we feel alone at times truly all around us and in the midst of us are fields and rows of thousands and thousands of the most beautiful flowers that exist in the world, each with its own unique scent, color, and shape. If you look very, very closely, you will see there are no two flowers that are exactly alike.
So it is for each of us as we are all uniquely made. We each have very intricate skills and abilities that were chosen distinctly just for us. Reach deep inside and pull out your gifts and slowly open each one up savoring the joy of discovering; what’s inside of here? These gifts should never be given away because truly they will only work just for you. The more you use each of these gifts the more lustrous and precious they become.
These gifts will go in and out of seasons and just like magic, they will change into another gift. Just like a flower, that drops its seeds when the new season arrives, given the right elements, they will sprout and produce another gorgeous flower and yet it is the offspring of the original. Our eagerness will be immeasurable as we wait to see what new precious gifts will transpire throughout all of the upcoming seasons of our life.
Flower, flower, flower you are heaven’s mint, its scent, its scent makes us reinvent who we are. Flower, flower, flower your message is universal, it crosses every barrier communicating in a silent message; YOU are Worthy!
