I found the following sentence on a piece of paper in my nine-year-old daughter's handwriting on the floor in her room the other day.
"Even through the rain, snow, and ice, we can still blossom in God's Word." - Abi Davis, 3-12-08
"Did you write this," I asked. "Yes." "These are your own words," I continued. "You didn't get this from someone else?" "No, I didn't. Why?" "Wow, Abi. I love this. This is so true. And so poetic," I beamed. Turns out she wrote it on a day when snow was falling outside her window while she was reading her Bible on her bed.
Has your heart for God and others grown cold lately? Plant yourself in the Word of God and watch the fruit of love begin to blossom in you.
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away" (Psalm 1:1-4 ESV).
