I went on a stroll down Burnside Street early this evening to Whole Foods Market. As I listened to my new favorite band, All Sons and Daughters, I realized these cute little flowers on patches of grass next to the road. They were in such random places, hanging out by the dirt, or odd areas that one would not normally find flowers. As I was walking, God spoke to me so gently, in a whisper, "My love is for everyone." I immediately smiled and my tears began to well. It reminded me of the Parable of the Scattered Seeds in Matthew 13.
God has allowed me to grow in such a weary place. He does it for so many. These flowers reminded me of myself and others who have found Jesus in the patches of grass next to the busy road, in dry dirt, or in the unlikely places. God is so good. He is our redeemer and glorious Savior. His love is unconditional, unfathomable, and undeserving. I have done nothing to be able to stand here, blooming as a daughter of Christ and loved.
He fills my heart with joy. I am so thankful.
God of mercy
Full of grace
You are forever
Always forever
Slow to anger
Rich in love
You are forever
Always forever.
