As I look at this picturesque flower, I can’t help but think of how it got there. A seed that was thrown into the ground with a purpose of growing through the soil somehow by an unfortunate occurrence found itself in a crack in the pavement. All alone, stuck at the bottom with nowhere else to go, and no strength to begin growing its root- it was hopeless. But out of nowhere it felt a bit of soil beneath it and a ray of sunshine crept through the narrow crack. And with its last bit of strength the seed pushed through and sought out a better future. Then it relied on the little resources it had to get through life. It would go through hard times, enduring a storm or going through days with no sunlight. Nevertheless its difficult journey only adds to the beauty of what it becomes over time. This lovely blooming image is all the more precious to the sight of those who know its story and the amazing journey it has been through. Though many trials may hit us in life, let us look for the hope that is in Christ to endure the painful suffering that may befall us and keep on living the life that He has called us to. And in the end His light will shine and bloom in us for the world to see the miraculous hands of our amazing God :)Picture by John Waltz
