THE EYES OF FAITH

The plants during warmer temperatures

The same plants during colder temperatures

I spend a lot of my time watching plants grow, growth always fascinates me because I think its intelligence at work. 

I happen to come across an observation in the garden and here is what I learnt:

Plants are intelligent , they aren't unaware of the conditions around them as it may seem. 

I have posted above photos of some flowers that I have been watching grow in the garden. I saw how these plants in particular would fold their beautiful , bright yellow petals when it got cold, and again, how they would release them out during the warmer temperatures.

I learnt from their wisdom and applied it to faith. 

In the journey of faith , its about learning how to preserve your energy. We do not fight unnecessary fights, faith has every thing prearranged. In this , we don't struggle. 

I decided and made my mind up not to struggle in life , I learnt that I need to preserve my energy. I saw how the plants maximised their strength during the day of heat, they shone so bright and they look beautiful effortlessly. 

In this day, they praised out loud with their beauty ,and the sun blessed them with heat and continued to make them strong. I saw the same with my heavenly Father.

I also noticed how when the cold came, and the rain came to beat against the plant they pretended as if they were beaten down , but the sun came and the stood straight and shone bright.

The faith that I have in my heavenly Father makes me strong , and also shines his light in me, he empowers me to stand. 

I thank him, for all that he teaches me to do.
