A tiny package waiting to burst!
Who would imagine – a tiny hard shell of a thing, given the right environment could burst into a living, growing, thriving thing as tall as a tree, as bountiful as a feast, as beautiful as a flower?
Most surely, this is God’s work; His spark of life in a most unlikely package!
We can sometimes feel like a small, insignificant seed, waiting for the right moment, the right environment to sprout and grow into something truly amazing. Did you know that seeds can take root and grow after waiting may years? I think that’s encouraging!
It’s never too late!
The seed of our artistic endeavors can sometimes seem small, insignificant…it can be so easy to let it wait. But I’m certain of this, God gives us our interest in artistic expression. That seed is waiting to become the feast that feeds our souls and the souls of others who are inspired by what we do.
Just as every kind of seed produces a different part of a great feast, so there is room for every one of us to let our creative expression grow and flourish… in fact, the feast isn’t complete until each of us comes to the table with our offering.
Seeds! Who would think?
Don’t think your work is insignificant!
Nourish it, let it grow.
Watch for the spark of life that God loves to give!
