Gardens brimming with life and magnificent colour. Multifaceted tulips grow with strength, hardiness ..the most patient of flowers. Sleeps all winter in it's bulbous casing...waiting...waiting. Slowly it peaks its first greens out of the newly thawed ground...just a little...for what seems an eternity...and then, when the days become longer, warmer, they burst forth, growing exponentially within days.
Occasional bouts of cold don't seem to get them down...don't discourage them from doing what they were created to do. They must know their life is short because they seem to live every day multiplying their beauty, basking in the presence of their strength...the sun.
Do you see a parallel...are you living like a tulip? Sound strange? Are you living like this day may be your last? Do you let bouts of cold discourage you from doing what you were created to do...living in the fullness of life? Do you bask in the presence of your strength?...the Son?
Buy a bunch of tulips today before they're gone for another year. Place them in a vase and display them somewhere prominent for you to see...to remind yourself that you have a purpose....you are stronger than you think....that you carry beauty that only you can multiply.

There may be lots of other beautiful "tulips" around but only one you.
