Do you ever feel a little like this dandelion that loses its flower and its remains float off into the wind, losing their strength as well? But do you know that those seeds that do go floating off, plant themselves somewhere else, only to grow and irritate people that do not want them in their yards.The thing about them is, there are truly some remarkable things to say for these weeds that we don't really want around. From being edible to possibly helping to control blood sugar and more.
However, I am not going to talk about their benefits in this post. If you want more information on that you can go to: 13 Potential Health Benefits of Dandelion
I think the main thing is, they are a bit like us. Wait. What?
When a person becomes a Christian, they are often so happy for what God does for them, that they want to spread it all around. Just like those dandelion seeds, we spread this good news for all to hear. Only some do not want to listen. And so eventually some get tired of trying.We may lose our strength and become idle. Just letting everyone else plant the seeds and doing the things that we should be doing to further the gospel of Jesus Christ.That is when we need our fellow "dandelions." To gather around us, praying for us to take on the strength of Jesus Christ again to grow his kingdom.
Thank God for the ministry of those around us. That can lift us up when we are bent down. That we can also lift up when they feel like their life is just blowing in the wind.Luke 8:11 says: The seed is the word of God.
But if we are stagnate, and not spreading it, it will not grow. We need God's Word and sometimes the prayers and support of others in Christ, so that we will be as strong as those weeds that we may detest and yet are as quick to come back as soon as our grass is mowed.
Because, unlike those dandelions that will one day pass away forever, God's Word will never pass away.
Thanks for coming by today Friends. God be with you and bless you and yours!
