Look full in His wonderful face!
I spent some time in a local park yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the flower garden was still very lush. Usually the heat of summer takes its toil, and by late August, Tennessee looks more brown than green.
But not so this year! With plenty of rain, the ground is actually soft instead of brick hard. This is a bloom from a Rose of Sharon bush, related to the Hibiscus. These blooms open up to the sun; at night they tighten up. During the day, when the evidence of the sun and of God's creation is so abundant, there is no need to hide yourself! There is far more to be thankful for than to be feared.
If you find yourself getting depressed, and being filled with anxiety, open yourself to the Son.

Oh yes. Thank you for this reminder. Its fun to watch my flowers close up and then reopen even larger the next day. WOW! What an amazing God.
