The Daisy

Do you all love daisies? One of my favorite flowers are daisies. Daisies come from a plant family called Asteraceae, which also includes aster flowers, ragweed, and sunflowers. Daisies can be found in many parts of the world, including North America. Daisies have been around since 2200 B.C when ancient Egyptians used them as herbal medicine.

There are few interesting facts about daisies. One single daisy flower is actually made up of two separate flowers. The center petals are one flower surrounded by the ”rays” of another flower.Daisies grow all year round.New gardeners would love daisies as daisies are naturally resistant to many plant diseases and pests.However,unfortunately,the English daisy ( Bellis perennis) is considered a stubborn weed in North American lawns.

Daisies are very much related to innocence, purity, new beginnings, true love, motherhood and hope. It signifies the beauty of God inside out. Daisies are delicate just the way there are. Just imagine yourself sitting in a garden full of daisies. How beautiful is that?

Isaiah 35: 1-2: “Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses. Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy! The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon. There the Lord will display his glory, the splendor of our God.”

The flowers here signify the joy and fulfillment of God’s Kingdom. When we obey the Lord’s instruction and follow His Word, we will be able to see His Kingdom in spite of challenges or struggles in life.

Use this verse as part of your prayer when you feel confused and lonely, for God is with you and He wants you to experience His glory. 

Look at yourself as someone who is so filled with the Kingdom of God, that it reflects innocence,purity, new beginnings, and the love of God in you. When you are so full of these, you can only pass on these qualities to your loved ones around you.
