We are like a rose in garden surrounded by a sea of thorns
We are like a star in the night sky, one that is continually reborn
Christians are like stars. Some are hard to see and lost among a sea of other stars while others shine very bright and stand out in the crowd. Yet, some will tend to blend in never surpassing the others and never fall behind. These are the Christians who have grown stagnant in their walk with Christ. When a star dies, it is like losing a fellow Christian either to death or because they have strayed away from a life of Christ. When a star is born, someone gave their life to Christ.
Today, I came home to a withering plant. I have neglected it for a long time and I believe that it was a representation of my relationship with Christ. I started off strong this semester, but I soon became too busy to worry about this part of my life. I neglected my walk with Christ and soon found myself to be walking a path that was my own and not of Christ's will.
The plant was struggling for some time (as I have been). So today, I decided to finally water that plant. Soon enough (3 hours later) the leaves on the plant began to perk back up and come to life. The plant is completely restored.
It's just amazing how that one point in life where you can be so down, so broken, and so hurt, but God goes and replenishes you. He give you that little bit of water that you need in order to come back to life. The Lord works in wonderful ways and I am so happy that He is beginning to open my eyes to His Word, His Love, and His Light.
