WHERE ARE THE BLOSSOMS

How many times have we nurtured a plant hoping it will bloom as
the book says it will? We watch and tend it every day and while it
stays green and appears to be growing, we keep up the loving
care. But when it's time for the plant to bring forth its expected
blossoms and they don't appear, what do we do? Too many times
we get discouraged and throw the plant away.

Let's think of the plant as ourselves. What if our Lord was as easily

discouraged? Thank God for the keeping love of Jesus! How many
times He must be disappointed in our growth. How often we
should burst forth in blossom in our Christian walk, but remain an
undeveloped bud. But does God cast us aside? No! He knows our
weaknesses, and He lovingly nurtures us spiritually back to health to
become the blossoming branch of the true vine. Just as the plant
will not bloom without loving care, we as frail beings cannot blos
som without God's word and His never ending care.

God is calling us into the fold
Holding the life that belongs to our soul.
If over and over God does His work
Why should we faint our duties shirk?
Let's do our tasks and do them well
We'll be rewarded and with Him dwell.

IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP IF WE FAINT NOT Gal. 6:9
