Guest Post: Arise by Danise Jurado


  
The beautiful flower was once a tiny seed.  It can only reach its full potential with the nourishment of soil, refreshing water and the warmth of sunshine. 
So it is with us.  
Inside of everyone’s heart is an undeveloped seed filled with potential.  
Sometimes it’s hidden deep within, so that human eyes cannot see.  God sees.  It has been designed perfectly by Him to come to full fruition.  
The seedling knows that it has a purpose but it needs encouragement to grow.  
Safely hidden under the soil; it is tempting to stay there.  It always requires courage to become what the maker has called us to be.  
God showers the soil, washing it with His Word filled with nourishment.  The light of His Son brings warmth and comfort.  
Life springs up.  
The seed that was once filled with a dream of purpose now begins to grow.  Slowly at first, until the right time has come to break forth and arise
In this new season, the seed is no longer hidden.  Undiscovered potential has become reality.  It is a vulnerable and fragile time and yet there is boldness and confidence found in the unfailing love of God.  
All around us, everyday, there are seeds of potential trying to burst forth into life.  Let’s partner with God to encourage them to arise
1 Thessalonians 5:11 
“So encourage each other and build each other up”
