Watering

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.. 1 John 4:13

There is so much to learn when we consider all that is involved in growing plants. There is the soil, the seed, and then just nurturing. Reflecting on this, I realize the gift of life is all around. When we discover God’s love for us and the gift of the Spirit he has given us, we can stop to reflect and be grateful. In that moment we know God loves us. His love nurtures us into becoming the man or woman God designed us to be. It is the moment we surrender to his leadership and call. It is the moment we discover we have more in our hands and hearts than we have imagined.

Today is a day to turn what we know into action. Today is a day to join God where he is and to share his love and grace with others. Today is a day to bring delight and joy to God and others as we make use of the gifts and resources we have been given.

Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Spirit. Thank You for watering us. Thank you for nourishing us and calling us to live each day in your presence and love. Help us to use the gifts you have given, sharing with others as we answer your call. Amen.
