In spring a little flower rises up from a quiet place in the ground... and what a story it has to tell!
Hidden there in the darkness was a seed or root or bulb with all the potential God had given for that little flower to grow. Gently it peeks forth into the sunlight and blossoms, spilling out it's fragrance and the full expression of it's purpose.
But the flower doesn't come forth until the "season" is right and the ground starts to warm up. There is a right timing.
So it is as we grow in the Lord. He designs us, guides and nurtures us, preparing us all along the way, that we might become the full expression of who He made us to be. And in His timing we will blossom. Our hidden potential will become a sweet fragrance unto Him... when the season is right.
"Thy hands have made me and fashioned me."
Psalm 119:73 KJV
