There are many other flowers that I find more beautiful than a crocus but a crocus brings a feeling of delight and wonder that no other flower gives. It's not as much it's appearance but its accomplishment! No other flower in my landscape breaks forth from cold hard ground when there is snow still in the air. When I'm weary from the winter's cold and bleak landscape the little crocus pops up and provides such a refreshing contrast to the dreariness around it! It's a flower of hope. It's a reminder of new life... that Spring will once again come; that after bleakness there is new life!
It's so often like that in our lives isn't it? Everything can seem so bleak and dark, and cold! It can seem hope is lost. Then God uses that time of darkness for growth and creates a new bloom. He refine us and creates new growth in our heart!
The little crocus does not fear when it is buried in that cold, dark earth in the dead of Winter. It's hope is not lost. No, it is waiting with anticipation! For it knows when the harshness of winter seems it will not flee; that is when it will get to break forth and bloom!
God is with us when there is times of darkness and dreariness in our lives! Do not lose hope but wait with anticipation! God will bring forth a new bloom in your life and it will be beautiful!
