Only a faithful… loving… God… creates a camellia…
A plant that blooms… abundant… in the middle of winter…
I have two… and they haven’t always done great…
But today… I noticed… blooms…
buds opening…
bright red blossoms…
in the dead winter landscape…
And I go to look closer…
and notice daffodil fronds…
more numerous… and taller…
than the quiet blessing… a couple of weeks ago…
In the shadow…
of yesterday’s regret…
I think about His faithfulness…
Hope in Him… it never disappoints…
So… I hope anew…
in His grace…
His work…
His love…
His Word…
In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary — we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!
