As Life Blooms

Bloom and Bear Fruit

Flowers can either grow in water or soil. Such as in fruit bearing trees on the soil, flowers are being found. Flowers are distinguished through its tree. When the leaves grow, flowers begin to bud, and sooner comes its bloom with the fruit it produce. Like flowers, we bloom to produce fruit, and it can either be a good or  a bad fruit. 

'Water Blossoms'

Lilies grow in the bodies of water, usually by the ditches, ponds and swamps, where the water is stagnant. Only the lilies have decorated the unadorned place. In spite of the unpleasantness of its atmosphere, the spot itself still have beauty in it because of the lilies that had covered around. Water which is their home has displayed its elegance.

Flowers Fade But the Word Endures

1 Peter 1:24- 25 CSB

For all flesh is like grass, and its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures forever.

We too are like flowers. We flourish, showing off our beauty and radiance. But just like flowers, we pass away. As a jasmine's fragrance goes out, so we are. Just like the roses, we only have a small span of time to cherish every moment in our lives. But unlike the flowers, the beauty of the Lord never fades. It is always fresh and in abundance. We cannot truly rely on the beauty that is fleeting, but on the foundation of beauty in all creation.

Let Life Bloom

Hosea 14:5-7 ESV

I will be like the dew to Israel;

He shall blossom like the lily;

He shall take roots like the trees of Lebanon;

His shoots shall spread out;

his beauty shall be like the olive,

and his fragrance like Lebanon.

They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow;

they shall flourish like the grain;

they shall blossom like the vine;

their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

When we return to our Creator, He makes our life bloom like the lilies in the midst of this filthy world. We are to bloom in the love of Christ for it is always fresh and bountiful, same as the beauty of the lilies. His love is timeless. When we live in Him, we will have the blossom that will never fade away.
