Blooming Hope

Blooming hope is a gift from our Lord as we grow in our faith.

Bloom where you're planted,
Don't wish you could stray
New flowers can keep growing,
No matter where you stay.
Bloom where you're planted,
Hope you will be granted.
Bloom where you're planted today.

We can have a bouquet of blossoms if we follow God's way of gardening.
  1. Soil  Hosea 4:3 "Break up the unplowed ground; do not sow among the thorns."
  2. Seeds  Hosea 10:12 "Sow seeds of righteousness" 
  3. Sustenance  I Peter 2:2 "Like newborn infants, desire the sincere milk of the Word that you may grow thereby"
  4. Sunshine  Psalms 84:11 "For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly"
Something beautiful,
Something good.
All my confusion,
He understood.
All I had to offer Him
Was brokenness and strife.
But He made something 
Beautiful of my life.

Remember that God does the work. Never doubt that He can fill your life with a fragrance of beauty.

Consider the lilies, they don't toil nor spin.
And there's not a king
With more splendor than them.
Consider the sparrows,
They don't plant nor sow,
But they're fed by the Master
Who watches them grow.

We have a heavenly Father above.
With eyes full of mercy 
And a heart full of love.
He really cares
When your head is bent low.
Consider the lilies and then you will know.

"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18) and you will gather blossoms of hope for eternity.
