They're ordinary. They don't have fragrance. They don't need much care and attention. They can thrive on their own. Oftentimes, I am more proud of my other rare, hard-to-care plants. But really, these Zinnias do the job of keeping my garden beautiful. They fill my garden with flowers even when all other plants fail to bloom.
Do you sometimes feel like you're just a filler in world and that you don't really play an important role? I do! Sometimes, worse. I feel like I can slip away without others noticing my absence; like an extra in a movie where anyone could just fill my part. Irrelevant. Unimportant.
As I did my gardening today, these thorny weeds of lies were pulled out. My zinnias reminded me that I have an important role. I'm part of a big picture. Little my contribution be, I can make this world more beautiful.
For we are God's workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
