Lesson from Sun Flowers

Sunflower seed asked God. “God, who am I?”

"Keep Going" You're one of mine God, why is it so dark? Be patient, light will touch you

God, why is it so cold? You need rain to grow

God, why is it so windy? You need to learn strength

God, why is it so dirty? You need to learn to climb

God, am I misplaced or lost? No, you are perfectly planted.

God, what am I? You are special

God, what am i to do? You are to Grow,

God, this way? (Plant acting like a vine) No, you need to grow straight up, you are a flower, NOT a vine, and Vines cling for strength and need support. You are NOT a vine.

God, am I done growing? No, keep going a little more,

God, now am i done growing? No, keep going a little more.

God this is taking forever, I see red flowers that have already bloomed, blue ones at my feet, pink off to the side, Am I not one of them?

No, keep going, focus and face the light.

God, I have done everything you asked, I am tall, facing you and I am not clinging to anything. What else is left?

Bloom!

God, bloom this much? No, a little more

God, this much? Now I am the same size as the others.

No, a little more… God that will make me very different and very large.

Go a little more…. God, I think I got it, I feel it!!!! I feel your warmth.

Yes, keep going...God, I see your face.

Yes, open bigger….God, I am here, big, tall and bright, and really different, now what?

Stand tall and face me, and follow me.

God, now what do I do? Feed others

God, feed them what? Feed others from your centre, your soul, your heart.

God, is that my purpose? Yes, my child, you are a sunflower.

You were made to grow in the cold, the dirt and the dark…You were made to climb through it

You were made to withstand the wind…You were made to grow taller than you ever thought possible….You were made to see far and wide….You were made to follow me throughout the day….You were made to bloom, and bloom large…You were made to feed others from your heart…..You were made to be beautiful, strong and giving…..You were made to Love.

I was in deep thought and asking very similar questions to the ones mentioned. I wrote this with tears welling up in my eyes. Inspired deeply to connect my heart with others. May you all find ways to love someone today? Feel the warmth of it and know your purpose. We are all created a little differently. Each with a beautiful purpose. My heart tells me, none of us are vines. But we are all flowers. And we all need to bloom. Love you all so very much…
