you may become sons of light

At dinner tonight, one of the sweet things spied a flower sitting behind a pot of picked weeds delivered as a gift. A grin worth your life broke out, and she rejoiced at believing the flower to be growing from within the weeds.

Wonderful analogy of how the Lord sees you. Amidst the weeds of sin and darkness that comprise your being, He sees a thing of beauty. And like in the analogy, that flower actually does not have its roots within your shadows. Rather, that growth comes from beyond you. Lord sees what you can become through Him, and that beauty is not yet in you. But He sees it, and He rejoices, and that joy is worth your life.
