thoughts from the heart

As I was digging up bricks in the back yard I noticed something in the corner of the yard. We have some plants (tulips maybe...) growing and one of them is growing right through a hole in a piece of cement block. It really made me think - Wow! That plant really wants to grow - it is finding any way it can to push through that little hole to find the sun. I think that is how Christ wants us to be - striving toward Him - even when there are obstacles in our life that seem to get in the way - we need to keep our focus on the Son. Just like He created that plant to grow - we also, were created to grow.
