Springtime is my favorite season. The sun in shining and birds are singing! I just planted my MAMMOTH SUNFLOWERS this past week. I love sowing them in the spring and watching them grow all the way till fall. These flowers simply amaze me. I realized a few years ago that God has a HUGE MESSAGE for us within the creation of a sunflower!
For all my gardening friends, I think you'll like this fact that I found out. I looked up the botanical name for this flower and discovered it's called "Helio anthas" But the best part is "HELIO" in greek means "SON" did ya catch that friends? SON not SUN.
Hebrews 12:2 states "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" A sunflower is known for following the sun day and night. By harvest time it resembles the golden glory of the SUN! It takes on all the details and shape of the sun. That truely amazes me!
I planted my sunflower seeds this week to remind me as they grow to KEEP MY EYES FIXED on the "SON" Jesus Christ! I desire to live the story he wrote for my life. After all He is the author and knows the ending better then I do! I desire to take on His Golden Glory.
Isaiah 61:11"For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes things that are "SOWN" in it to spring forth, so the Lord will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations" A sunflower can never Bud forth unless the Seed is first sown. What seeds have we sown in the things of Christ so we can begin to grow, bud and spring forth?
Galations 6:7 " For whatever a man "woman" sows, that she will also reap"
Its never to late to sow! God will cause great things to bud forth in your family, personal life, job, children and so much more
Happy Growing
