Seeking the Sun





As I stepped out on to our small apartment patio this morning I saw our pansies had all been straining to reach what little bit of sun they could find.As I watered and tended to them I was struck with the thought that I too,as a believer in Jesus,must also seek the son.I must seek the Son of God.For it is then I will grow.It is then I will flourish.It is then I will bloom brightly for Him.It is then I will bless those around me.How about you,dear reader?Are you seeking the Son?
"Seek the Lord while He may be found.Call upon Him while He is near."
~Isaiah 55:3~
"As the deer pants for water brooks,So pants my soul for You,O God."

I'm trying to Sharon. Sometimes in the shadows we don't strain towards the son as much as your pansies do.

I completely"get"what you spoke here.I too have been so deep in the shadows at times that it seemed I was even unable to strain at all towards the son as I knew I needed to do.A rough place to be in but it too passes and for that I am glad.Thank you for stopping by and blessings upon you~Sharon

Your post brings to mind this scripture...

Jeremiah 29
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.


Beautiful flowers! Which reminds me that I need to go water ours.
