A breathtaking sea of color abounds at this Eastern NC flower farm filled with gorgeous tulips. As beautiful as they are, though, we know that soon the flowers with wither away.
Biblical analogies of flowers falling from their stems as seasons change teaches that change does occur, but one truth remains steadfast—God’s love for us. 1 Peter 1:22-25 states; “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For ‘All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers in the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever’”.
We live in unbelievably uncertain times. Covid 19 continues to spread, most are under “Stay at Home” orders, and life as we knew it no longer exists. Material possessions that we once thought were so important seem less so now. Relationships matter more. Take comfort in knowing that God’s love endures.
Pray that when this virus is contained that we will emerge stronger in our love for God and in our love for each other. Pray that old wounds heal, divides come together, and that a revival in our hearts will spread throughout the world faster than any virus.
