James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

In the spring, I planted zinnia seeds like the ones I
remembered from my childhood. With rain and sun green sprouts shot up and over
time displayed a riot of color. One
morning when I left for work, I took a moment to admire the blooms. They reached
their faces to the sun. When I got home that evening, I noticed that the buds
bowed their heads because the sun had moved to the other side of the house.
The movement of these simple flowers reminded me of how I
strive to be as a follower of Jesus. In seeking him I search for his light and
raise my face to meet his. The warmth of his love and grace refuel my soul. In
the darkness of life I bow my head and pray for his guidance. In time he sends
his answer. I am amazed over and over again how the most common elements of
nature speak volumes about our incredible God. Whether sunshine or shadow, he
stays the same. I just need to stay focused on his light.
