Grass, Concrete & You

At this major intersection I'm able to watch the wind blow through the grass on the street corner. I'm inside and so I only know it's windy from the way the grass moves and bends together in waves.
Beyond the grass is a mass of concrete and asphalt. It shows no sign of the wind. No movement. Not even when multi-thousand pound cars roll over it.

Some people are like the concrete. They're strong, immovable, solidified in their ways and confident that they'll be around a while doing just what they do.

The grass on the otherhand flexes and bends. It too is firmly planted and confident yet it moves. Some people are like this. They too are confident but not in their stability or ability. They're confident in the foundation. They're willing to follow the wind without losing their way. Others see the wind move with them and it's quite a beautiful sight. It will be cut and stepped on and yet grow all the more and moved by the wind.

Those likened to concrete never display the effects of wind. Concrete isn't all that beautiful of a sight.

The Spirit moves. Do you move with Him, firmly rooted? Or is your heart concrete - steadfast but not willing to flex and breathe and sway.
