Face the sunshine

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. (Micah 7:7 NIV)

Behold My sunflower, whose face looks toward Me and receives the warmth of My sunlight, and reflects My love, My sunshine, and My warmth upon others. Although you may feel like nothing in your own sight, you are blessed with the touches of My love, blessed with the fruit of My Spirit.

Though everything is not completely as you would have it, yet all is in My hands. Do not fear, My precious flower, for I protect you. I cup My hands around you so that nothing will harm you. The strong winds will not blow you over, for I protect you. Turn your face toward the sunshine of My love. Receive My warmth and My love, that you may reflect it upon others, that you may glow with My love and pass it on to others.

As long as you face the sunshine, you will absorb the light. As long as you face Me and constantly trust Me and know that I am in control, you will have peace and contentment, even though all about you may not seem to be right. All about you may not be to your liking, yet if you will look up to Me, you will have peace. For I am the giver of peace and I bestow it upon you, My sunflower. – Jesus [1]

Like a sunflower that follows every movement of the sun, so I turn towards you, to follow you, my God. – Saint John of the Cross
