I am always amazed and delighted in spring when I see dark, rough bark suddenly covered with pink fluffy blossoms. And I see sprouts springing up out of the ground from bulbs which are plain brown, and the sprouts produce lovely flowers in brilliant colors. Hidden in the bulbs and beneath the tree bark is potential from God which bursts forth into beauty and color and fragrance... expressions of His love and creativity.
If you see yourself as “plain”, or wonder about who you are meant to be, know that God has also placed potential in YOU! Every life has potential. As you seek His goodness, the potential in your life will begin to sprout and grow and blossom. In Him you can flourish and have brilliance. All you do will have fragrance. You will be an expression of His endless creativity... an expression of His love and beauty.
“From His dwelling place He looks (intently) upon all the inhabitants of the earth, He Who fashions
them all, Who considers all their doings.”
Psalm 33:14-15 Amplified Bible
“And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us...”
Psalm 90:17 Amplified Bible
