A flower reminds me of God’s love for us. It blossoms with all sorts of colors, fiery orangish red, sunshine yellow, and bruised purple in different seasons. Sometimes it wilts and we don’t notice it as much. But even if it looks all dead, it’s still a flower. And even when we don’t pay attention it to, it’s still there, sitting, waiting to be noticed and bloom again. The big difference is, God’s love for us doesn’t fade in and out or wilt like a flower does, it’s always there, and always strong. But sometimes, we ignore it. We forget to how important it is. Just because we always have it and we always will have it, we start to think it’s nothing. But then something reminds us of God’s love and His love is once again noticed and relied upon. Having God's love always makes us forget how special His love for us really is. But shouldn't it make His love all the more special? Shouldn't it make us realize that everything changes, but God never does, He always loves us, and He always will. Can’t we at least try to fully appreciate the love God pours out on us day after day? Or will we just go on, remembering only on holidays such as Easter, about God’s great love for us?
