I saw you bloom into the most beautiful flower.

At first all you were was just a seed.

No one knew what you would look like.

As I watered you, I saw a sprout grow.

My face lit up, I knew I had planted you in the right place.

You continued to grow.

Each day a new leaf would form.

You were growing so fast.

And one day, I heard there was a storm coming, everyone was talking about it.

I protected you.

When the storm came, you wilted.

So I created a support system to help you.

And I put you back into the sun and checked in on you everyday.

And as you leaned on your support and received My love & guidance, you stood up straight again.

Your stem thickened and more leaves bloomed.

Wherever the sun shined, you followed.

I watched you everyday, sometimes close up, sometimes through the kitchen window.

It didn’t matter if I was near or far, you continued to grow.

You formed your petals so secretly. I could barely see any color peek through.

You were rolled up in a ball for so long, I wondered when you would bloom.

And then another storm came. But I protected you, as I always do, this time knowing that you would survive.

When I checked in on you, I saw you were wilted again but you were still alive.

I picked you up again and tied you tighter to your support.

The next few days I gave you your space as you healed, but I still watched you through the window.

And one day I went outside and saw that you had bloomed into the most beautiful flower.

You were filled with brightness and huge petals, beaming with gold as the sun was shining on you.

You bloomed into a flower that surprised everyone, a flower that no one has ever seen before.

When I planted you, no one knew how beautiful you would be, but I did… I chose you.

Looking at sparrows from a distance, they all look the same. What if you observed them for just a little longer? You would see that each bird moved a little different, each bird is a different color, and each bird has something unique about them. A whole flock of sparrows from a distance represents us, all the same. However, we are each uniquely set apart for greatness. Each one of us is designed so intentionally and beautifully. We cannot not compare ourselves to another human, they were not made the same way that we were. We are precious to God! We are made in His image, we are His masterpiece!

“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭29‬- ‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Your words have power.

Don’t be so sour.

Think of honey,

that is more valuable than money.

Feed your soul and body,

so that you will be Godly.

Think before you speak,

or you will become weak,

with words that you have believed to be true,

when the only words that you need are from God’s point of view.

“Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”

Proverbs 16:24
