The flowers you don't want to get but get anyway:
They smell good. They look good. They might even taste good. This week has been a week of flowers. I received flowers from my dear friend Alexi, that didn't smell or taste, that I'm aware of lol. but they did look so good. They were the kind of flowers I wanted to get. The ones that I wasn't expecting and didn't even know how to respond to but they were just what I needed at that time. She gifted me with exactly what I needed, when I needed, not that she knew that or anything but I think that is the beauty of getting flowers you need. It shows that God is gifting us with big and beautiful flowers that we need and sometime even gives us flowers we don't want. Recently one of my dear friends received flowers she did not want. These flowers smelled good and looked good. They were everything great about big luscious flowers but they were not flowers she needed or wanted. They were hurtful flowers used to torment her and make her feel guilty for her Godly actions. I watched this friend struggle to find the words to make these flowers, "okay". But sometimes we get flowers we don't want and really don't need. Is this okay? no, I don't really think so. I think this is meant to test our faith. Whether we run to the unneeded flowers or not, that is what could make or break our faith. If we are constantly wanting to receive flowers we don't need, is that really okay? NO. It's not. Flowers are needed in our lives to help us blossom but when they wilt, they will still just be flowers and they are no longer necessary. Let the wilted flowers go my friends.
