Lessons from Tendrils
I was going through some of my garden pictures from last year and I came across all of these wonderful photos of tendrils. Last year I grew a new zucchini variety (which has now become my favorite) called "Tromboncino" (click HERE to view "Tromboncino Zucchini"). This zucchini was a climbing vine and it had the most terrific tendrils. If you are not a gardener then let me define "tendril".
Tendril - a twisting, slender structure by which a plant (such as a grape or Tromboncino) twines around and climbs another object or plant.
These tendrils will cling to other plants and often the only way to loosen their grip is to cut the tendril and separate it from the plant.
It struck me that we should be clinging to God in the same way that these tendrils cling onto other objects as they grow.
Cling - to hold or hold on tightly, to adhere as if glued firmly
- to have strong emotional attachment or dependence
- to cleave, adhere, embrace, entwine
That is a lovely description - "Our Heavenly Father is our life and the length of our days."
Take Hold - to grasp, seize, take root
Take hold of God's words with all of our heart.
Hold Fast - to remain steadfast or to hold onto something tightly.
- to physically hold onto something tightly so that it does not move or fall.
- to remain firm in one’s beliefs or principles despite challenges or difficulties
Hold fast to God with all our heart and soul.
Let's hold fast, take hold and cling to our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Savior.
