“But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
I used to watch my mom, aunt, and grandmother plant flowers. I learned the difference between annuals and perennials. Annuals were flowers that died after their season and could not live through aggressive weather, while the perennials were able to withstand aggressive weather and return to full bloom after they were planted and took root.
You too have faced, are facing, or will face some aggressive weather in your life, but don’t fret. You can handle it! As a believer, you are alive with Christ. When you are rooted in Christ, like the perennial, you can withstand the aggressive weather you experience when faced with temptation and battling sin. And even when you lose a bout, God’s great love, that is rich in mercy, is waiting to forgive you for your sin and restore you to full bloom again. You don’t have to die in your transgressions. You only need to accept God’s grace and live life pleasing to Him by staying rooted in Christ.
