I was watering my flowers with the watering can the other night. I noticed how they had dirt on their leaves, and the water, as it softly washed over them, cleansed them of that dirt. That is so much like the blood of Jesus flowing over us and washing away the dirt of our sins. The water from the can also provided much needed refreshment for the flowers, who had wilted in the heat of the day. Without that water, they would shrivel and die. So too, we would shrivel and die without Jesus in our lives. His word gives us much needed refreshment for our thirsty souls, in the heat of every day life. Sometimes I add miracle grow to the water, which gives the flowers an extra “boost”. I think that Jesus has ways of giving us that extra needed boost as well. Spending time in church, with other believers, attending a bible study or just time spent alone with God, are all ways to give us a spiritual fertilizer along the way, to make sure we keep growing. I thank God that His love and Grace continues to flow freely over me.
