growth

God has been speaking to me a lot about growth and the process that goes into growing. Ive been learning about life and beauty and goodness and that Jesus desires that for me even if thats hard for me to grasp.

I haven’t been able to take my eyes of these green beauties for weeks now and I seem to add to my collection every day because they teach me so much. about life & growth & beauty & plenty. They physically lean towards the light which seems nice and pretty but their roots are deep, and they didn’t get deep over night. They went through a process of darkness and pushing through the dirt until the roots saw light and bursted to life.

This process that the Lord is taking me on is unfamiliar because ive never been willing to go this deep. but he’s after my heart. his priority is my freedom and this is how I’ll get there. growth growth growth and more growth until life spurts out uncontrollably.

Thats what I’ve learned from watching plants day in and day out. They have taken the time to be deeply deeply rooted –  not just be beautiful on the outside and thats what I long for.

So Jesus, the deeper you call me, the deeper I’ll go. Letting you tend the soil of my soul. Forever reaching towards the light. hallelujah.
