It's a flower... yes, Love in a Mist is a name of a flower...
interesting isn't it? I was just looking around in my seed packs
and realized I still had a pack of these seeds from a few years
ago. There is a trick to getting them to grow... which I have
never succeeded in doing by the way. The seeds need to be go
through a winter... a cold spell. The seed packets say that you
can 'trick' the seeds into believing they went through this by
simply putting the seeds in the freezer for a few weeks and then
planting them. I tried it but didn't succeed... oh well it's not
the first thing I tried and didn't succeed at.
There are lots of things that we can relate to this, the tricking
thing that is. Sometimes we think someone is a friend, but they
are not. There may a situation where you have trusted someone and
come to find out they were not sincere or trustworthy with what
you have shared... life is full of hurts. Although there is one
that will never trick us or betray us... that person is Jesus. He
cares for us beyond words... beyond actions... beyond
expectations... He is ever faithful and He is the best friend you
can ever find. Even when we have not been faithful to Him as we
should be... there is no love in a mist with Him... His love is
ever perfect and more importantly... it's free to any that ask....
with Jesus life is full of joys that help us along with the hurts.
"Do not be anxious, said our Lord, have peace from day to day.
The lilies neither toil nor spin, yet none are clothed as they.
The meadowlark with sweetest song fears not from bread or nest,
because he trusts our Father's love, and God knows what is best."
