Unstoppable
So there I was again, stuck in traffic and late when I saw natural life pushing through the cold man made concrete of the street barriers. I realized that when life is destined emerge it finds a way, even when circumstances are not ideal. If there is a dream that God has placed in one's heart or a talent that has been given to an artist, it simply must emerge. Sure dreams and art take hard work, time, money and often many failed attempts leading to doubt, but nonetheless life emerges. I realized that the natural life was not suppressed by the man made materials. Often we can have the man made pressures of life weigh heavily on us and threaten the greatness that God has placed within us. Most people cave under this pressure and simply conclude that their aspirations are too grand and must be relinquished. Though times and trials may be difficult, that which is truly alive is unstoppable.
