Spring Flowers

A Time for Renewal

Spring will be upon us in just a couple of months…a time for fresh air and renewal. I need renewal, in fact it’s already started to bud. I love flowers. We are moving to Connecticut and I don’t know where we’ll live yet, but there will be flowers. I’ve been going to goodwill and antique shops and buying up flower pots this winter that nobody else wanted.

Do you ever feel like an empty flower pot that nobody wanted? I have at times. That’s why we need God’s renewal. He takes His kind hands and cleans the pot, then gently places the soil and plants flowers that bloom and grow. It is a beautiful creation. Sometimes a weed gets in the pot and you have to remove it so it does not choke out the flowers that are blooming. God does that too. He is the master horticulturist and he makes all things new.


Then leaves will start to fall and then winter will come again and the flowers may die as we have struggles in our lives, but if you let God plant a seed in your heart that becomes a bud to a beautiful flower His love in you and yours for Him will grow forever, and there will always be a bloom despite whatever hardship you may face.

You will be a beautiful rose despite that you are surrounded by thorns.
