Consider The Lilies

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ~ Luke 12:27

From the public-domain King James Version. Photo © Glenn Franco Simmons. Freesias were used here, rather than lilies because I do not have any photos of lilies, and some Bibles (English and non-English) use “flowers” rather than “lilies.”

I realize this is the same photo of freesias as the previous post, but these are such beautiful freesia blossoms that I could not resists.

As A Tender Plant

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. ~ Isaiah 53:2-3

Christ's Love Surpasses Knowledge

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
