NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD - 2

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have 

made the heavens and the earth by 

Your great power and outstretched 

arm. There is nothing too hard for 

You. -- Jeremiah 32:17, NKJV

Over the years the Lord has used my attempts at gardening to teach me many lessons—and sometimes just to encourage me and remind me to look up instead of around. And so it was in this season when the circumstances of my life were looking as impossible as the prospects of any wildflowers growing out of the seeds I had planted in my windowboxes this spring.

How happy I had felt when the sprouts started to appear. How full of anticipation. And how quick to get discouraged and disappointed when there was nothing but a bunch of green leaves. 

When the leaves started to droop and wither, and some even die, I pretty much gave up on them, although I did continue to water them from time to time.

One day, when I least expected it, God sent me a surprise.

A bud in one of the windowboxes, and a second one in the one next to it.  Soon the buds turned into two tiny flowers--one pink, and one blue.

I am grateful that God never gives up on me the way I was so quick to give up on my plants, and I am thankful that He cared enough to send me this little reminder that no matter what things may be looking like in the natural, He is always in control, and nothing is impossible with Him.
