I took this picture in October just playing around with my camera and different ideas. Well, at the time that I took the picture and all of the times I've absentmindedly glanced through my pictures on the computer and seen it, I hadn't thought of what it resembles. I can't believe that I haven't thought of this before. When I looked at it just now, its so clear.
We often hear God mentioned in the Bible as our light, our lantern. Well I think you can start to see what I'm talking about. Look at the picture again, were you thinking that the sun resembles the pure light of our Lord? Now you are.
Of course, in this picture, the corn stalks are tall. When plants are planted, they come from a seed. We all learned this early on I'm sure. Well I'm sure you have heard the term "planting the seed" of Christianity into someone's heart. Well someone had to "plant the seed" for us when we became Christians. Seeds need to be watered to grow and they need sunlight. I think you get where I'm going. If we were never "watered" with God's word, and we didn't have God, "the sunlight," then we would still be in the dark, underground. We wouldn't be growing!
The corn stalks grow toward the sun, just as God wants us to grow toward Him. We should want that too! If you haven't just pray and thank God that you have Him. :]
Email me @ ashlynpotterblog@yahoo.com and send me prayer requests, and let me know if they are too personal and they should be posted up here as "unspoken" or anonymous. I would love to help out in prayer. So if you need something prayed for...email me!
