garden isn’t quite what I want it be just yet,
but there’s potential just beyond the gate. All it needs is nurturing, time,
water, sunlight…that special touch from the Creator.
Much
like the blessings of a garden not yet awake, there are many gifts locked away
in all of us just waiting to bloom and bring glory to God… but it takes effort, doesn’t it? It takes a stepping away
from ourselves to step out in faith. Sometimes, we just don’t feel like
putting forth the work it takes to “bloom,” to BE more, to DO more than
what life already demands. So our gifts and our talents and our blessings to
others remain locked away behind that gate. Their colors never seen or
appreciated.
God’s
glory never given.
“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the
same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there
are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in
everyone.”

Corinthians 12:4-6 (ESV)
I encourage you to step out
today, my friend. God has designed you to bloom. Be firmly rooted in His presence, His Word and His
power that they may be the support you need to grow and produce blessings
abundant.
“All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded.” Exodus 35:10 (NIV)
You
weren’t created to be unproductive and left to whither on the vine. Don't keep your potential locked away behind the gate - allow God to nurture His gifts in you and bloom today!
Wishing you
Many Blessings,
Debbie
