The Lily of the Valley

The Lily of the Valley

 Have you ever felt like a Lily in the Valley?
You are growing tall towards the sun yet not
 spreading your petals out. You are reaching
 for the light but there is still so much darkness.

 People can see that the lily in the valley trying
to stick out but you can't. You have been told
that the lily can make a big difference if it let the
 light shine on it. That lily stays in the valley
because it has fears and doubts. Its petals stay
curled up because no sun can get to it.

 Then the lily hears someone say, "You are
growing and changing in me. You have a pure
heart within you that I can only use for the good.
 You are the purest of them all. The sun is shining
 down on you so all the world can see." It is shining
 on you to grow you so you can spread your petals
to the ends of the earth. You might be different then
 the rest in the valley but that's good for them. They
can see a different light shining on you and they
 want that same light.

They want that light that will make them pure and
whole again. They are in the valley for a reason and
the lily is there to help them. It's there to guide them
 towards the One True Light of the World-Jesus.
Growing that relationship with Him is the best kind of
 growing you can do in life. Making your heart the
purest of them all.
