Grace In Bloom

Someone once said, “I can no longer go on basing my faith on what’s right for others or what feels good. I must find out once and for all what God’s truth is for me in my own life. But how do I go about that?” I believe this is where I had gone wrong for so many years. Because I had been basing my faith on what was right for others for so long, comparing how much sunlight, how much water and what soil they were planted in, I found the leaves of my own faith start to shrivel up and curl. My cluster of buds could no longer flower because I was so busy looking for God’s truth in other people’s pots, so desperate to flower like they did, that I realised that if I wanted to bloom in my own pot, I was going to need God’s grace. So, how do we tap into this grace and bloom where we find ourselves planted?
