Monthly Inspiration - June 2021

Welcome to the June inspiration.

I have been reminded about seeds and how even though they are planted in dark soil, they grow out of the darkness into the light.

As we begin to come through the pandemic and look at life anew, we cannot help to have been impacted by the last eighteen months and what we have learnt along the way.

I wonder if there are new seeds the Lord has planted in us through the pandemic perhaps seeds of patience, resilience, love, hope or forgiveness for example. If there are, let’s ask Him to help to make these seeds grow inside of us for His glory and purpose.

We hope the creative expressions that follow encourage and bless you as we embrace the beauty and warmth of June, and all the Lord has in store for each one of us this month!

“I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-7

Another participant shares their response: “I have learned so much from my patient pansies which never got around to being planted! How they survived snow, hail, frost and general neglect and uncomplainingly produced some beautiful flowers! They’re tough in their beauty. An example to us all.“
