Blooming in the Gray and Dark Times

When I saw this picture above, I had an epiphany!! And it's something I already knew and don't doubt for a minute. But, I thought this picture is the perfect illustration for my epiphany. And that is....

No matter how gray and dark things may appear around you, God will always find on a way to let His light shine, so that blessings can bloom in your life. Every blossom will out weigh and out shine any dark and any gray area in your life. The keywords are TRUST and BELIEVE.

1. TRUST in God 110%. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths," (Proverbs 3:5-6)


2. BELIEVE in His Word and what He promises us. "Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things [are] possible to him who believes," (Mark 9:23).

For some, this may be easier said than done. However, that's part of the growing process for a Christian. This is what I like to call a work in progress. In addition, it's about building your relationship with God. The more you read His word and spend time with Him the more you will get to know Him. As a result, you build up that trust. It's so much easier to trust someone you know rather than someone you don't.


Remember, no matter how bleak things may be in your life, don't be discouraged.  If you just wait...patiently on the Lord, He will bloom supernaturally in your life.  One rose can easily turn into a beautiful rose garden.
