During a worship service led by Heidi Baker, longtime missionary to Mozambique, the Lord spoke to my heart.
I'm giving you eyes to see more as I see - everybody precious, every moment holy.
God continually reminds me to seek Him in the little things. I began to understand this more deeply after the loss of my daughter Luanna in 2012. Luanna never lived long enough to accomplish anything big in her life. But she was beautiful both inside and out! That prompted me to tell God,
"I want to be a beautiful flower for You, Lord. Nothing big or showy. I'm willing to be the smallest of the small, just as long as I can have a heart attuned to Yours. You abound in the small and weak, in seemingly unimportant people and ordinary moments. So that is where I want to be.
The smallest flower I could think of was the springtime bluet, just a few millimeters in size. "I want to be a bluet in Your Kingdom. Just a little bluet!"
What would spring be without the bluets?
