Reflections of a Plant...

Can you grow a plant? Yes.
Can you choose the seed(s)? Yes.
Can you choose where the plant will grow? Yes.
Can you create a pot where the plant will grow? Yes.

Can you know how much the plant will feed? Maybe.
Can you know when's the best time to plant a plant? Maybe.

Can you pick the lighting that the plant needs? No.
Can you pick how fast or slow time will need for the plant to grow? No.
Can you know why there are more plants that we will ever need or care to? No.

Can you know that God takes care of plants like He takes care of us? Yes!

Then, if I'm a plant in His eyes, His beautiful eyes, then why can't I give up my control to Him? How much, if a plant can't talk, can give praises to Him by the wind? How can my Father receive me in His courts? How can I be a plant of shade, of refreshment, of blessings and mountaintops? Why do I feel shortened, or beesed, or burned? Can God take care of me like He does with nature?

Saturate me, oh Lord, for I am a plant in Your eyes. Let my surrender, be it little by little, or a whish of my life, glorify You as my Father, King, and the provider for me, Your own plant in the garden of Heaven.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. (Psalm 1:3)

Be it words of blessing for you, day or night.
