I am amazed at the intricacy and detail inside a flower. It is a world within itself, with every tiny part having a specific task and purpose of its own. This is the beauty we all get to see when flowers open to the sunlight.
It takes trust to open, but how else will they experience the full benefits of the glorious sun? The brightness, the glory warms the petals, and they cannot resist. One by one, they give in to the wooing and whispers of their sun. Before long, they are in full worship, petals outstretched, forgetting their former hesitancy, and the whole earth reaps the joy. The courtship is in full bloom.
May you look and find yourself opening today. To the Father, to love. The earth awaits your glory.
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.

“forgetting their former hesitancy, and the whole earth reaps the joy.”
I love the writing in this post. Really cool thoughts well said.
Your talent amazes me! I could never write like that. God did give me the ability to appreciate the beauty in others like yourself.
