Blooming Like A Wildflower

The other day, I was talking with a friend about the wildflower.

I have always loved wildflowers and so has she.

She pointed out something that I had never really thought about before.

The wildflower is unique.

It blooms with grace wherever it’s been planted.

It adapts to all types of weather changes and soil.

It never looks to the other flowers wishing it could be them.

Wishing it could be more beautiful.

It doesn't try to fit in with the other flowers.

It tries its best to be the best, regardless of its surroundings.

Another thing that's interesting about the wildflower, is that it attracts the good bugs and repels the bad ones. The ones that want to pollinate and change the world are welcomed.

The ones who bring disease are quickly turned the other way.

Now think about those things, all the characteristics of a wildflower, and how they can apply to our daily life. As humans, we desire to be accepted, loved, and cherished. We don't like it when others treat us differently because we aren't like them. It makes us sad and sometimes even angry.

This is why it's important to be like the wildflower.

To be different.

To stand out.

To be unique.

It's ok to bloom differently because how we bloom determines who is attracted to us.

If we bloom gracefully and unashamed we will attract those who want to be godly and stand out from the world. Those who are unafraid of who they are and don't want to change just to be accepted. The people who are happily blooming in their field, not someone else's.

They have no desire to be like the other flowers but instead are proud to be a wildflower.

If we try to be like the other flowers, we will attract negative, poisonous people.

The ones who are unstable and constantly changing.

People who are always trying to keep up with the trends of this world.

They're not content in the field God has placed them in and desire to be one of the other flowers.

God has planted us in the soil we are in for a reason.

He wants us to grow there in grace.

We need not be like other flowers because we will be perfected in His time.

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11

It doesn't matter what the other flowers may think of you. You don't have to worry about being accepted. God loves you just the way you are. He doesn't want you to change so you can fit in.

He has designed you as a wildflower because you are special.

The wildflower is bright, cheerful, and resilient. It can grow anywhere at any time.

That's what God wants for us. to be able to grow in the toughest of places. To become strong in the hardest storm. To persevere so we might become beautiful again.

Bloom gracefully, boldly, and unashamed. Bloom like the wildflower!
