May

     As the flowers spring up in my garden; so do the weeds. I have spent hours on my knees pulling them. It appears to be an endless battle, but the results are worth the effort. I love to look out and see flower beds free from weeds. 

     Just as the flowers bring beauty to my yard, I want my life to do the same. Yet the weeds of sin seem to grow as abundantly as they do in my garden. I have to spend time on my knees in prayer, and yes, it is a daily battle.

     Don't you think the Lord delights in us when He sees us living right? We are a sweet perfume to Him in the area of the world where He has chosen to plant us. 

     Help us Lord to live as You would live; and help us to be a bright spot in someone's life today. 

     "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Mat 5:16).
