Does your life seem wilted?

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Does your life seem wilted?

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight [pleasure] is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” (The Bible, Psalm 1:1-3)
We have a type of salvia planted at our house called a “drop of blood.” It’s a beautiful plant with lovely red flowers. Sometimes its leaves wilt, and you know it needs water!

In just a few hours after watering it, the salvia’s leaves regain their original texture, the stems perk up, life returns, and new buds soon start forming.

Does your life seem wilted? Do you feel frazzled?

Here are some things that made my spiritual life wilt in the past…

  • Negative words…that I allowed to take hold of and define me instead of the words of God.
  • Lack of an intimate relationship with God…when I was too busy to pray.
  • Bad choices…when I made decisions without asking the Lord.
  • Disobeying God…when I succumbed to temptation and grieved the Holy Spirit. Pornography was a problem in my life.
  • Quarrels and divisions in the church…that created wounds and deeply discouraged me.
  • My uncontrolled reactions…that did not bring peace.

There’s good news…you, don’t have to stay wilted! There is a solution, and it is not guilt. There’s a hope and a future. A “drop of blood” from Jesus and all is erased, renewed, and given new life!

There is a solution, and it is not guilt. A "drop of blood" from Jesus and all is erased, renewed, and given new life!
