Everywhere I look I see growth. Green grass, flowers in bloom, and new growth on the trees. It is literally everywhere I look. I feel like God is calling us to growth in relationship with him this season.

If you know anything about gardening or tending flowers and trees it is not an easy process. It takes time and devotion. Much like our relationship with our savior – it takes time and devotion.

We must weed out the things of the world, and we must fertilize with the word and gain knowledge. Possibly the most difficult part is the pruning. We must allow God to prune away the difficult parts of our lives. The dead or dying things that we hold close. The hurts, mistakes, rejections, and secrets that we hold onto because allowing God to prune them would be embarrassing or painful. If we let those go we release control of them.

Sisters, allow God to prune you today. He wants to bring growth to you. More than you can imagine. He wants to replace that hurt and longing and rejection with joy and those mistakes and secrets with peace.

Isaiah 43:19 says, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Let him grow you in this season, and may you bloom wherever you are planted ❤️
