God’s Wildflower

Spreading The Truth One Byte At A Time

By Ron Bender© 2008, 2013

Do you ever feel insignificant? Compare yourself to others and come up short? Try hard to look or do better so you can stand out? I do. But then…

I pick up the inspired prayers of the Psalmist; I follow the rhythms of the ancient prayer masters. In solitude with my Lord I pray the Psalms and walk in their paths.

Day after day, over and over, I pray the same Psalms and walk the same paths, each time seeking to reach a little deeper and go a little farther.

And the One I love speaks to my soul and helps me to hold my head high. This is why I pray. This is why I praise Him. This is why I write to you now.

I like to take walks or hikes when ever I can one of my favorite places medows In the spring when it is profuse with flowers.  One day God used one wildflower and one verse from Psalm 103:15 to capture my heart…

God’s Wildflower

My precious wildflower – smile!

I have clothed you in heaven’s splendor.

Though you’re lost to all in a field of blooms,

You’re seen by me and my sweet society.

Don’t worry about who sees your beauty

Or about how much time you have to bloom.

Be dead to the world and alive to me

For I planted you here and I know your name.

~

I am your Father smiling over you!

You’re growing in the grace of my Sonlight,

Nourished by the rains from my mouth.

My choirs of angels, birds, and saints

Join me in singing my love song over you;

We delight to dance with you in Spirit breezes.

What joy it brings to us all in my kingdom

When you smile and sing back to me!

Jesus says to you: “See how the lilies of the field grow? Your Father clothes them in splendor. So much more than this he clothes you and loves you!” (Matthew 6:28-30, paraphrase).

Hold your head high as you read these verses from the Bible about how much the Father God loves you!
