The Problem:
Misunderstanding the directions received.
A couple of weeks ago I bought some pansy’s for my piano planter.
Red, white and almost blue.
I was very pleased. The lady told me they would flower all winter if I snapped off the dead flowers.
Wonderful. ..easy…flowers all winter….color. I am excited.
Now the problem.
Not knowing any better, I snapped off the buds before they flowered.
How dumb is that? You would think a grown man could see what hadn’t flowered from the flowers past.
Apparently not.
I don’t know if it was fatal but there is no color now.
I stopped the plants from flowering, meeting their potential. From becoming a pleasant gift to all who came within sight.
Our ignorance of God’s plan and promises causes us to snap the flowering life out of on fire, young believers.
Our unbelieving, belief in God is our down fall.
We don’t really believe the promises of God beyond Salvation.
Why? Because so few really dig into the Spiritual.
We educate ourselves physically, but never really exercise the Spiritual.
David was known as a man after Gods heart. Why?
Read the Psalms, David knew long before Jesus, how to enter the Holy of Holies.
He spent time in Praise and Prayers, a man who knew how to take responsibility for his errors.
He knew how to repent and return to God.
We need to spend time the same way, in Praise and Prayer.
Finding our way into the presence of God. Into the place of obedient peace, joy and power.
His Promises and Power are available to “whosoever” will seek His face.
“Whosoever will become a love slave.”
Those who truly give their all to the Lord.
Will you?

They should. Will take a while to rebud, and they might get leggy on you, the plants since they new buds are gonna come out of new growth. But they looked pretty bushy so I bet you will be fine. I have cut annuals back pretty hard before and In a bit it’s like they are brand new.
