“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but though love, be servants of one another.” – Galatians 5:13 RSV
What freedom and wonder I feel when sowing into others,
watching the transformation that takes place in their lives just because love,
grace and compassion are freely poured out.
The tired souls of those who receive this love are like wilting flowers
awaiting a cup of water to revitalize their weak and drooping existence. And when that cup is poured out, they can
again lift their faces to the sun and take in the life-giving force of their
Creator. Standing tall and experiencing
all that is so freely given in this life force, I can sow into them because I
received it first. Praise God, Who pours His love into my heart. Praise God, Who uses my life to pour His love
into others. - Joy Pedersen
This reminds me of the Sunflower. It raises its face to the Sun and follows the Sun. God's perfect creation receiving what is needed from its Creator.
