FLOWERS

Blossoms growing in the heart. Thoughts and emotions which have petals attached to our lips.

Just a great aspect of life when they flower in positive ways that inspire and encourage. Then they will bless others.

Weeds grow in the darkness of the soul. Like weeds in a garden they can be very difficult to eliminate.

How often the take root from something that happened in the past. Some moment or event that left seeds in our mind.

Then they grow silently, festering in so many ways we don't always appreciate. But our lips will reveal their presence.

Now some would act like they have no weeds in their lives. Those are often the ones who have the hugest thickets of them.

Not sure why some feel a need to act like their inner gardens only grow roses. But that is the nature of how some cope with sin.

Not quite a good choice, but some will never find it possible to do otherwise. Which is sad.

What makes the difference. It might sound trite, only the water of the Holy Spirit can truly make a change.

And that is not as easy or difficult as some would claim. Oh there are plenty who speak of the Holy Spirit.

They make it sound like they are experts. And they know all the right terms to say to impress.

But then they never quite undo the contradictions from the vines that are strangling their spirits. Those creepy inner drives that deny our heart's desires.

Oh there are plenty how would make it sound like they have no such problems. But it is obvious that isn't the case.

If you speak of love and God in one sentence then in the next vent with hate and doubt, sorry that is human, but not spiritual. But some never seem to give it any thought.

That is where the true expression of the Holy Spirit makes the difference. For it will always bloom with truth.

Even if not everyone can smell that scents.
