The brightly coloured flower

The same flower from yesterday is bent over dropping water into the clam. As the water is poured out the flower is no longer weighed down and it springs up so that it stands up straight. Once there it is hit by the sunshine and opens out fully. The clam begins to pour out its water at the base of the plant, watering it and strengthening it.

Ok, the flower is Jesus, and we are that clam. The Lord is actually weighed down by the things of the Spirit which He desires to release to us! As long as we refuse to receive that which He has already purchased for us, we hold the Lord back. We restrict Him by our refusal to yield. But as soon as we accept and begin to operate in the anointing which He has for us He is glorified. Then we use that anointing to praise Him- as we pour out that which he has given us as an offering to Him.

'To you I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasure,
that You designed for free?'

'If you could see all the riches of My Kingdom, you'd be embarassed at how poor you are.
If you could see how much I paid for you, you'd be embarassed at how worthless you feel'

yeah, i think the times we feel the most convicted are not the times when someone tells us we are wrong but when we realize the effect that it has had on the Lord whom we love.

God capture our hearts, that loving you and giving you glory would be more important than anything else.
