…the grass withers, and the flower wilts; but the word of the Lord remains forever.
My wife bought a jade plant, also known as the “money plant”. Since it was the first time that we have this kind of plant, we water it everyday like the other normal plants that we have. Then at days go by, it’s leaves started to fall, one by one. That is when we water it more, thinking that it needs more. But it only worsens. In the end, all the leaves are gone and the stem started to rot away. When we check on the internet, we learned that this kind of plant really needs little watering. Overwatering can kill it!
We are similar to this jade plant. Most of the time, we try to “water” ourselves with things that we think will make us grow. Then, a time will come when we really “overwater” ourselves because we start feeling dry, and thirsty and hungry. And that only made us crave for more, as our principles and morality starts to fall off. And deep inside, our body and our soul starts to rot away. We withers like grass and wilts like flower.
Only the words of the Lord can make us fresh. Hearing the words of God and putting them into actions, could make our soul really jump for joy. This is what we must think; this is what we must believe. Fill yourself with the words of the Lord. Get your bible and read about the good news. Overwater yourself with His words, with His promises, with His love, with His passion, with His spirit. Your soul will definitely not rot away, but grow more and more in love, until, it overflows. Your body may wither as time goes by but your soul, filled with the spirit of God, will remain forever.
Almighty Father, in light of all You have done for me cause me to love as You have loved me. Though I am unlovable You chose to still love me. Let Your word grow in my heart and remains there forever. Fill me up with Your water of life so Your word will be the good seed that will grow and produce the fruit of love. May your name be glorified by the way I love this day. Shower me with Your love everyday, refreshing my body and soul.
“Water my soul with Your kind words of love
As I give my life to You, and my soul You will have.”
The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve.
