Give Flowers

You were fitted for this. Every stitch of joy, frustration, humbleness, growth, brokenness, separation, mending, love, abundance, loss, prosperity, confusion, hustle, strength, and persistent faith has become the very fabric of your beauty. No one carries the crown like you, and no one ever will. You are a mother. That gifted responsibility that instantly made you a cheerleader and a championed fighter is what gives grit to your grace and sexiness to your stretch marks. Own it all. You were fitted for this.

Consider not how things will happen. Gird yourself with truth; you are blessed. The persistence of your faith sets an expectation from God that He will deliver to you the plan, the favor, the miracles, the wisdom, and the strength needed. Believe that you are worthy of receiving the good that has already been given to you, see yourself with it, and be adamantly grateful now.

Be still and unprovokable. Peace, Joy and Perfect Harmony are well-earned jewels in your crown that cause pure turmoil in those that mean you no good. Be discerning in your actions when you respond to others, especially those closest to you, that can be used as tools to loosen the prongs on your crown. Bring the moment, thought or action into obedience with God’s word. Cover your sin and theirs with love, overlook the offense with love, and pray for them and yourself.

Have the capacity to receive and to give. It is perhaps one of the most challenging and surely one of the most fulfilling things to do. You must have the perpetual desire to empty yourself of doing all the things that you think God wants you to do and truly be at His feet, attentive to Him and what He wills. The law of reciprocity is activated when you surrender. It becomes a loving relationship where you communicate what you want, why you want it and what you are willing to sacrifice to have it. You grow in the realization of what He wants, why He wants it, and what He sacrificed to have it. As you do this, your partnership becomes one where you are receiving and giving based on the question “What shall I do for thee?”

May the flowers you receive be the same ones you give and vice versa.
