You’re on a need-to-know basis.
God is Surprising

If you have every had a bird feeder and chipmunks in the same area, you likely know that a sunflower can come up in the most surprising places. Chipmunks like to bury the seeds from the feeder most anywhere, and we water them inadvertently. Then one day, we might have the surprise of a sunflower in our pansy pot.

God can use any means He wants to plant seeds and that goes for the gospel seed in someone’s heart. He may use others to water it, but it is God who makes it grow.

Have you felt that something is trying to sprout within you? You might as well go with the grow, because you’ll never be happy being anything else especially a pansy. A pansy may be cute, but they aren’t too bright. I’ve seen them poking through the snow in December.

You need-to-know that God wants the whole world to be “Son-flowers.” All we have to do is confess our sins, quit acting like pansies, and turn to Jesus as a sunflower turns to the sun. You need-to-know He is the sun of righteousness. He will cause you to grow. Now bust out of that dirt!
