A Gentle Soul's Growth Analogy
This child of God flutters lightly around to connect with another sweet soul. She rests in beauty as she touches someone’s shoulder, chats and talks to this stranger in the midst, welcomes this sweet soul to the community of believers, then she “flies away” to yet another person needing her personal warm and friendly welcome……
Which one of God’s creatures knows how to drink deeply of the sweet nectar of the flower? Of course, the humming bird! This child of God reaches out to a friend in need, and drinks deeply of the grief her friend is sharing with her, taking on the pain of the person so deeply that she can let her tears gently flow to help wash away the hurt and pain her friend is feeling……
The child of God who is so much like the sweet Lily of the valley is so fragrant in her faith and belief that we can almost breathe in the fragrance of Jesus as she interacts with the soul who needs Him just at the very moment the Lily is placed into the friend’s world. She refreshes her friend with the beauty of Jesus, as her face radiates the love He has to give to everyone……
The playful otter reminds us of that one person in our lives who finds joy everywhere, even in grief. She is the one who can brighten the corner for that other friend who is in need of wonderful encouragement; She reacts with joy with the new believer, the new mother, the grandmother, the teenager, the child with absolute confidence that God is love and that God loves the person she is joining with in joy……
The Queen of the beehive must have the traits of organization, leadership and creativity for she is the one who gently gets things done! She lends her intellect and joy to any project she is involved with; Because she gives her directions with love and understanding, she guides others into a special project that will lead them closer to salvation, and closer to Jesus. She does this through her prayers and her ministries. She loves the Lord’s work, and it shows, and that brings new believers closer to Him.
God’s Tiny Dandelion
The Dandelion is a humble plant; it comes up in the early spring amidst chill weather. It is proliferate, as many of its sisters quickly start popping up into view. God’s child, who resembles this yellow and bright shining flower, also brings many to the knowledge of Christ, through the trials of chills and early springs. She is not afraid to meet the challenge, and her work for the Lord brings in many a sweet spirit as she shines in the field of harvest. She is not defeated by naysayers, because she is deeply rooted in her faith, and her harvest brings in many to carry on the Lord’s work!
