The Joy Of The Sunflower

Apostle Colette Toach
The Joy Of The Sunflower

If you watch sunflowers in a field, you will notice how full of life they seem. Yet none of that vibrance and life comes of itself. It is the goodness of the soil and the food from the sun that makes them radiate with such beauty. You should take a lesson from the sunflower my child.

For I am calling you to also shine and radiate my beauty. TO be something of joy that others around you can be drawn to. So just as the sunflower is dependant on the goodness of the soil and sun, realize that you are no different.

You cannot try to find this joy and life in yourself. You cannot try to find the goodness and make yourself into something lovely. Rather it is for you to just stay rooted in the soil and it is I that will bring my beauty. The soil that you must be rooted in is my Word and the sunshine is my spirit. Between these two things your life will begin to have color and will start to attract everyone around you.

You are trying so hard to do things right and to find a way to be an example. You know what you should be doing and often you try to even change yourself. But my child, don’t you realize that you cannot become something lovely without me?

Only with my power and with my word can you grow into something vibrant. So put aside your own striving and trying now and come back to me. Get back into my presence daily and just soak up my anointing. Get back to reading my word and letting the words enter into your heart.

Be rooted like the sunflower that stays in the same place and then blossoms for the world to see. Do not run around trying to fix the things in your own heart. Do not run around trying to make things happen in yourself. Instead stop and let your roots sink down deep into me.

Take the time to hear my voice and to experience my presence. If you can concentrate on this every day, the problems that are around you will begin to fade away. Soon you will find the need in your heart waning and it being replaced with a new strength and authority.

So come to me now. Sink down your roots and then wait as I shine on you and cause you to flourish says the Lord.
