Watching grass grow
Next to my work window , a big patch of lawn had a big dip in it earlier this year. To fix this, the gardeners simply dumped dirt in it one day.
Grass is resilient—it wants to grow. Over the weeks that followed, I watched as the grass underneath found its way to the surface, seeking sunlight, breaking through the dirt little by little. And I found myself rooting for those blades of grass!
This made me think about the Apostle Paul in the Bible. He was definitely unwanted by the early followers of Christ Jesus, because he was tenacious in persecuting them. But then he saw a light—God’s light—that literally blinded him, and his vision was subsequently healed by a follower of Jesus. After this experience, Paul began to spread Christianity with the same tenacity he had once used to persecute Jesus’ followers—becoming responsible for a significant portion of the early growth of the Christian Church.
