“Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.” Proverbs 11:28
What does it mean to FLOURISH?
I recently looked up the word flourish and right there in the definition was the word thrive.
To flourish is to thrive. To grow. To prosper. To be healthy.
I don’t know about you, but I want this for my life. I especially want this for my spiritual life.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
Jesus came to give us this life. He came to give us not only life, but abundant life. He came that we might thrive. He came so we could flourish.
But what does this look like in our daily lives? How can we flourish amid all the evils of this world? How can we thrive in all the heartbreak and grief?
Jesus knew that in this world we would have trouble. He faced His cross with joy. He told us to follow in His footsteps…and His footsteps lead to suffering. Yet, He also promises abundant life.
We can flourish because of Jesus because our flourishing and our thriving have nothing to do with our circumstances. We flourish when we are walking in the love and security of Jesus Christ as our only hope and salvation. We flourish in His love.
In other words, we are free to flourish not because of what we have done or what is happening around us, but because of Jesus.
