SON-FLOWERS

SON-FLOWERS☀️🌻✝️🙌🙏

Before these stunning sunflowers pop out and bloom they experience a prepping of sorts…Sunflower seeds contain all the essential nutrients needed for the future plant to grow, except for warmth and water. They wait in humble patience during winter, sensing the cold temperatures are not good for survival. Once warmer temperatures and water become available, the seeds absorb water and use the stored nutrients to grow into seedlings, which then emerge and face themselves towards the sun to receive the energy required for growth and vitality. This really got me today! So I’ll ask you the same questions I pondered:

🤯What are you “facing”?
🤯What are your sights set on lately?
🤯Are you in the winter-patient building season, or are you basking in Gods warm light bathing on your face?

☀️🌻 Imagine being so dependent on something to survive you are named after it? It got me thinking and I believe we can be! If we chose to stop serving ourselves and fix our eyes on Jesus, the “SON” of God…. We could become SONflowers…😂cheesy I know, but still such an empowering and encouraging message from the most creative creator, whom we were made in the image of🙌✝️🙏🌻☀️

In the same way the sunflowers align their faces with the sun, we must fix our eyes on Jesus, the Son of God, and draw our strength and joy from Him.
If you’re looking for that SONflower joy that can only come from the fruits of His spirit, let me remind you that it’s not in the job you have,not in the friends you have,not in the clothes you wear or how you look, but like the sunflower, joy in this life is all about how you move. Are you moving towards the SON?

Lord I pray we are able to fix our gaze on you through your Holy Spirit! May others be drawn to Your light burning so brightly through us.
In Jesus name
Amen 🙏✝️🌻☀️

Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these,” Jesus remarks in Luke 12:27, highlighting the effortless grace and providence found in nature, epitomized by the sunflower.
