Under a stump in a deep forest that is off the beaten track, there are three hepatica flowers and they are in full bloom. The soft hair on their stems is like the hair of a toddling baby. The hepatica just puts forth the bud and blossoms wherever its seeds fall, without complaining. However, I always make excuses saying “No way, I can’t” about what He tells me to do. Oh Lord, “To obey is better than sacrifice. (1Samuel 15:22)” so I pray that my bad habit of being disobedient is corrected.
