Learning to see God in everyday situations should draw our hearts daily to seek to know our 'Living God'.

Fungus
So a short while ago, my Roses somehow got a fungus. I was quite upset as the thought of loosing my beautiful cerise pink roses was just so saddening. I had to take tough measures if I wanted any hope of saving the plants.
To get rid of the fungus, I removed them from the pot, and planted them into the garden, in the hope of improving their drainage. I also had to cut them right down, a little more than you normally would with pruning. Some good fungicide also got administered. I thought to myself that now it was all up to them, if they wanted to grow and survive then they would have to do so, I couldn't do so for them.
To my delight they have started growing again and the little branches are forming in a more beautiful formation than before. I am sure that over the next few months, I will once again be able to watch and enjoy them grow.
Sometimes in life we go through tough situations which may leave us feeling a little pruned. Plans we'd made are cut short and the goals we had are plucked out of our control. Yes these times are painful but we must allow nature (God) to do its work. With the right location (direction) and the right treatment (the healing power of the Holy Spirit) we will once again sprout new life in an area of our pruning and the result will be more beautiful than before.

Moonlight and red lady
The challenge was getting moonlight and red lady into the ground. It became evident very quickly that our complex was built on rocky terrain. There were so many rocks that had to be dug out just to make a whole big enough for the plants.
Amidst all the rock I hit a frightening white object. Thoughts of skeletons came to mind so it was a huge relief to finally figure out that they belonged to the roots of my giant Strelitzia. Phew!
It amazed me how this plants roots had managed to find life by slowly working its way through tons of rock. That's how our spiritual roots need to be, tough enough to anchor us down yet, supple enough to manage difficult terrain.
How do we develop roots like that? I'd love to say you could do it just by focusing on faith or love for example, but that simply would not be true! The only way is to remember that our spiritual life must be balanced. We must be willing to work on our overall spiritual growth.
I will talk more about that in the days to come. God bless!

Power of attitude
For most people there was relatively small inconvenience other than having a few strangers in their house. For some there were minor complications, yet they responded gracefully and did not complain.
For others there were no complications, yet they complained and some even got aggressive. It all boiled down to attitude.
When we have an attitude of co-operation achieving anything is possible. The same is true in our spiritual walk. When we co-operate with the work of the Holy Spirit our hearts and attitudes change to enable God to do amazing things through us.
Will you allow the Holy Spirit to work in you so that you can develop an attitude of power?
