A Series from the Psalms
I welcome new beginnings. I welcome the unfolding within me as I watch tulips wake from their cold winter’s nap.
Fun Fact: Tulips close at night and reopen in the morning, responding to light. They are also one of the few flowers that continue to grow even after their stems are cut.
Tulips.
Soft pastels.
Bold ones, too.
Push through cold ground,
Lifting toward the light
As if to smile and welcome love.
Tulips are the early risers of spring. They grow with confidence and like the cool air that still lingers all around. Their colors vary from soft to bold. So elegant they are.
Tulips have a mind of their own. Some unfold slowly, others open up quickly. They reveal their beauty one petal at a time.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
— Psalm 30:5
The tulip mirrors our souls. As we rise each morning, we are like tulips. Long, slender, and rising up to the light. We long for that steady stream of light to pull us through the day. God’s steadfast hand guides us all the way.
May your heart open gently to the new things
God is growing in you.
May joy meet you in the morning.
May you bloom on your schedule and not someone else’s.
