"Tay Tay, these are soooo cute! Who made them?"
"God"
Her little smile turned into wide eyed, jaw dropped, shocked face.
"He was here?!"
I was a little confused as I soaked in how adorable she was, "Who?" I asked.
"God, he was here yesterday?"
"God is here now Taylor, He is always here".
That short, innocent conversation with Taylor has played over and over in my mind in the past week and has raised some questions in my heart.
Are there times in your life that you forget that he has made even the flowers and he cares for them? And that He cares so much more for you? And not only was he here yesterday, when times were good. You know, "the good ole days". But He is here now in whatever you are going through, good time or bad, joyful moments and empty hours. He is here. Not only is He here now but tomorrow, when the future seems unsure, He is already there. My favorite author and speaker, Luci Swindoll once said , "The trouble with life is it is so daily". I'm going to add to that, "thankfully, so is God"!
Matthew 6:28&30
Why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin... If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown in the fire will He not much more clothe you?
I have had a "quote" memorized for as long as I can remember and I am not sure if it was something I learned in Sunday school or a song my Momma sang at church but it is, "Consider the lilies, watch how they grow". It is taken from the scripture above (maybe it is even the scripture but in a different version, I am not sure), when I feel like God is not present in the moment, I consider the lilies and know that God is here now and always is, He will never leave me. That gives me such amazing peace and I hope it does the same for you.
Happy weekend!
