pale blue cornflowers


'Listen, a sower went out to sow......'Matthew 13:3
There is something deep inside me that set a thought off when I saw the pale blue cornflowers flowering amongst the weeds on the roadside.
Something came to mind to do with the parable of the sower,
something to do with growing strong and blossoming into flower despite the hard roadside, rocky soil,
something to do with overcoming difficulty,
something to do with achieving, surviving, growing, despite other issues around you that endeavour to pull you down,
to strangle your growth.
Here were these flowers, growing strong and tall and blossoming amongst the weeds and rocky soil.
I am tempted to say.......'dont just look with your eyes, but with your ears, listen.'
Grace and peace from the Lords Jesus Christ.
