Flowers for God | July 9th

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 6:16

One of the beautiful things about this time of year is to observe flowers growing. When the growing season begins in the spring, throughout the summer, and until the fall, my sisters, our mother, and I exchange pictures of our gardens.

We live in different states and enjoy seeing how things are blooming in one another yard. I often make flower arrangements from the yard for my wife to enjoy. Currently, there are a few hydrangea arrangements throughout the house.

Beloved, may we show the same effort in displaying Christ in our lives. Let us be cultivated by the Holy Spirit so that His fruit is evident in our lives and observable to others. It should be apparent who we belong to because of the fruit we yield.

It takes time and attention to detail to have things grow beautifully. Let us pay no less attention to the condition of our hearts and the beauty of Christ in our lives. May others see our good works and give glory to our Father in heaven.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
