True Beauty.

Have you ever seen Wisteria? The purple flowers that look like grapes? I have always been completely mesmerized by these flowers! The vines grow so delicate and climb to reveal various sizes of these purple flowers! The flowers hang from the vines with both beauty and gentle simplicity.

I understand that not all of you will have an appreciation for flowers, but no skimming allowed..ha. Follow me for a second! ;)

Tonight I was driving and I saw around three or four Wisteria plants, full grown. They were planted in the middle of the yard! They were growing like mad, but they were given nothing to climb. They were still beautiful and producing incredible fruit, but they were missing that piece that always made me stand in awe.

Made me think about our lives and how at times we do the same. We may have a wonderful life. We may be content and happy, but what is beauty without awe? Have you given yourself what you need in order to reach your full potential? Are you challenging yourself enough to really be eye catching or are you settling for the type of beauty that come naturally with little to no effort or upkeep?

For the wisteria, all if needed was a post or fence or something to climb. For us it can be many things, but think today about what you have neglected to give yourself to challenge that true beauty? The kind from the inside that makes others notice a difference. Because if you cause people to stop and watch and you are living for God, they may just find something more than surface level. They may step up to the challenge as well!
