WILDFLOWERS

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Salomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. -Luke 12:27

 Wild-flow-er : noun A flower of an uncultivated variety or a flower growing freely without human intervention.

Consider how they grow: Wildflowers grow naturally without much pampering. They grow in the wild, not intentionally seeded or planted. The grow in areas where other plants would not grow there naturally.

They just grow wherever the wind takes the seed and as it falls to the ground it grows no matter the place, the harsh conditions, or lack of sunlight.  As a article I read put it " They do not grow in carefully tended rows on manicured lawns; they each sway to the wind of God's will." They grow and they die beautiful and carefree. Each one swaying differently than the rest. Wherever they land they accept the conditions weather much sunlight or non they just grow accepting wherever the Lord has placed them.

You & I belong amongst the wildflowers. Growing spontaneously, growing in places others never thought you could.

Free from all worldly worries and anxiety about the future. Even Salomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them. Greater beauty then the robes of kings is found just by simply resting in the Lord.

One of my favorite verses is this one: "She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future."-Proverbs 31:25

Do you know why she is clothed in strength and dignity?
Because she does not compromise her thoughts and beliefs rooted in the word of god. Her thoughts on purity, on faithfulness to the word of God. She does not allow anything to take that from her. Not any man, any person, nothing! She knows her identity in the Lord He says you are wonderfully and fearfully made. Her strength comes from the Lord to help her in times of need and testing. It is not pride its dignity that she is not willing to compromise. & she laughs and rejoices for the Lord has called her for such a time as this and is confident in her creator and allows the Lord to have his will and sway to the wind of God wherever he so choses to place her.

So I speak to you Wildflower; grow up as high as you can, grow in places they never thought you could, let yourself believe that life is truly truly good. Don't let the world make you hard, don't keep yourself bottled in that jar, don't sell yourself short of what you deserve. grow higher than before, bloom like theres no thorns in the way.  

Easier said than done right? Atleast that was the case for me. But hear what he says He says come home, you are my child, you are my daughter, what you cling so tightly to and cant let go off  I have already paid the price in full for. So you could be free! You've been calling my name here I am this is not the work of any man this is the Lords and the Lords alone He choses to reveal himself to however He pleases. So if you hear him knocking at your door open it. Don't be afraid He will catch you. Ready to free you: because you are meant to be free, to grow in places they say you can't. Ready to take your place. The wounds in his hands, the scars in his body, his death and resurrection for YOU! because He loves you. You may say you can't be what He wants you to be. Your right you can't because alone you never will thats why you need HIM thats why he is our Father to protect you to teach you his statues. Are you ready to come home? to dance with Him to cry your eyes out and be comforted by the one true and almighty king? To give Him your worries, to be found and embrace that beautiful moment. Redemption He is always willing to give. You've had your struggles but His kingdom is always ready for YOU!

I pray you may find these words encouraging. I pray you may be able to see just how much the Lord loves you and cares for you. I want you to know He has seen everything, He knows every aspect of your life, every tear, every laughter, waiting for a moment you look up, for a chance just like this one. Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him and He will show you things you've never known maybe even things you've never even heard of. He loves you, He is the shepherd willing to leave His 99 sheep just to look for that one sheep that strayed. Come home, come dance with Him. He wants you but just like we want to be wanted He wants to be wanted by you to. I pray this post may speak of Love to you, the great Love He has for you! In Jesus name I pray Amen!

Unfathomable Love

"God fills us up with his holy spirit", because of his kindness and grace. "It is a glorious grace because it covers our sin and empowers us to overcome sin and works of the devil". These are the words that I once heard and really took them in my heart. God is so good that he bestows his loving grace and unfathomable love, so unconditional and so sincere. When a believer experiences the holy spirit its like an enormous amount of peace, happiness, and an over-whelming sense (feeling) of being loved. I cant really describe the over all feeling because their is simply no words that can really live up to the experience of that moment. Its one of those feelings one could only experience to fully understand; and only then they will know the purest of love. I give him praise for his loving kindness, and glorious grace. "Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever. {Psalm136:26}

A fork by any other name Have you ever asked yourself "Why does God allow bad things to happen? Being Christian does not mean you will have the perfect life. God never promises that ;however,  He does promise that whatever we go through He will always be there. "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:27 A fork by any other name is the title I choose because that was the precise experience that moved me in a way that every year following that experience during thanksgiving I think about it. Thanksgiving is quite the reflective season for me. Where I sit a and think a little longer, and appreciate things a little more than usual, and take the time to express it to God, my family, and friends. So when I am asked what am I thankful for. I say Forks! Yes, I know that might seem like a very unusual answer but allow to explain and narrate the stor

"Be quiet! Be still!"

"Be quiet, Be still!" Those where the words Jesus muttered after He was awakened in a hurried manner to find his disciples in distress over a storm. You see, He was on a boat. A storm was coming and everyone with the exception of Him was afraid. I was on that boat. In fact, I am on that boat. I feel like the weight of the World is crushing down upon me. Storms and waves keep crashing, they just take different forms. Waves of doubt, heavy rains of judgment and criticism, thunder of rejection and storms of them all put  together to make one intimidating hurricane. These waves of doubt look like a lot of looking left and right only to see everyone around me doing so well at whatever they are doing when I dont even seem to have a clue what im doing, what im called to, or even what will become of me. I have no answers to any of those things, all I know is that this is a place where I have been lead and doubt has crept into my mind and it has stolen my peace, my hope, my faith.
