Two things I really love in life are Jesus and plants. And I really get tickled when my morning devotional has to do with both so I figured Id share. Its not too long so I hope you can read it during your busy morning routine. Sin does to life what shears do to a flower. A cut at the stem separates a flower from the source of life. Initially the flower is attractive, still colorful and strong. But watch that flower over a period of time, and the leaves will wilt and the petals will drop. No matter what you do, the flower will never live again. Surround it with water. Stick the stem in soil. Baptize it with fertilizer. Glue the flower back on the stem. Do what you wish. The flower is dead. A dead soul has no life. Cut off from God, the soul withers and dies. The consequence of sin is not a bad day or a bad mood but a dead soul. The sign of a dead soul is clear: poisoned lips and cursing mouths, feet that lead to violence and eyes that dont see God. (Max Lucado) Jesus is the ultimate friend to have. He is always on time when we are late and he is always forgiving when we fall short. He loves us unconditionally. And the best part is that no matter how far away from home we get and how distant we get from our faith, he will always greet us at the door to welcome us home. I even think Jesus would have a supply of biscuits and gravy waiting on us so we could talk over some good food. I know that Jesus loves me way more than I deserve. Have a good morning, folks!
