Like a Flower



We are officially in the dry season, although we still get a bit of rain up here in the mountains. As I looked upon newly flowering trees and shrubs, it occurred to me that these plants had no flowered until the rain failed to come. How much like these plants are we! When our life is good, we have food, material comforts and so forth, how little is our need of God. We are absorbed in our lives. However, when our life goes downhill, we hunger and are overwhelmed, then we turn and look for God, and find that God has placed a beauty within us, that only comes forth in hard times. The country here is so beautiful. and to think that the same God that holds the power of the United States in His hand also carves out the most delicate of flowers here, is an awesome thought. May you feel Gods presence with you today!
