One Single blossom

One single blossom holds so much beauty and so much of the plant goes in to creating that one perfect flower. It only lasts for a little while but it brings hope, joy, and beauty to a dark and bleak world. I have an African Violet sitting on my window sill that a friend gave to me last year. I have managed to keep it alive and every once in a while it produces these perfect purple blossoms. One has come up now and as I look at it I am reminded of the work that God does in our lives. We are those perfect beautiful blossoms that God puts his all into making. We get our nutrients and strength from him and even though we only are here for a short time God delights in us so much. We bring him pleasure and put a smile on his face, just like my African violet brings a smile to my face and helps me remember to look for the beauty in life.
I think God gave us flowers to remind us of how he looks on us. To remind us of the joy that we bring him and the love that he has for us. I would be crushed if my flower stopped taking the water that I gave it and curled up and died. God let me never withdraw from your perfect strength and the nutrients that you give me to go through life and continue to blossom into the perfect flower that you have me to be. Help me to always bring you joy and pleasure. I want to put a smile on your face. Thank you Lord that you put your all in to creating me to be a perfect blossom, unique from all the others and yours alone! You are so worth all of my efforts to grow to be the Woman of God that you have made me to be. Help me along this journey. You already have done so much, but there is still so much farther to go, so much more to explore and discover about myself. So much more to learn about you. Thank you!!
