Bloom where you are planted
I love Spring! The flowers bloom, trees bud and blossom, and the birds sing melodies. But what happens if a bud doesn’t bud? Will it remain a bud, enfolded in beauty, or eventually just wither?
I wonder, am I blossoming in the many aspects of life? Am I flourishing or withering?
The areas of my life where I enfold on myself, at first seem fine, but eventually wither. The areas I give freely to God blossom and flourish.
I don’t know about you, but I want to live beyond the bud.
What if we truly lived in God’s strength and energy? Would we merely be a small bloom on the end of His living vine? Or would we explode with His power?
Father, help me to live beyond the bud, blooming and booming with Your power wherever You plant me. Help me to fully open my heart to You that I may blossom under Your loving care.
“…Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of armies.” (Zechariah 4:6, NASB)
“And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.” (Ephesians 3:16-17, TPT)
