Just Because

 

Just Because

Sometimes a flower is expected just because you planted a seed. 

Sometimes beautiful music is expected just because you took music lessons and got an instrument.

Sometimes an A is expected just because you studied and thought you learned the material.

Sometimes being a pianist is expected just because you are the only white female in Tembisa.

Sometimes a great talk or lesson is expected just because you are a member of God's church.

Sometimes hosting the huge group with food etc for all expectations to make happy faces is expected just because you are the mom or the one asked to do it.

Sometimes we feel our efforts are huge and the outcome not perfect just because we can imagine such greater perfect things.

Sometimes we have an epiphany when the prophet says "the Lord Loves effort" and you remember the story of the loaves and the fish.  You realize the Lord smiles on your work and accepts the offering just because His love is so great. His walk with you is love and tenderness.  

Sometimes you realize the experience of that walk with Jesus is what was important just because God's love, understanding and tender mercy is very real.  

Sometimes a flower is expected just because you planted a seed.  Whether the flower comes or not, you planted.  

Just because you planted, that was walking with God and He accepts the offering.
