But the godly shall flourish like palm trees
and grow tall as the cedars of Lebanon.
For they are transplanted into the Lord’s own garden
and are under his personal care.
Even in old age they will still produce fruit and be vital and green.
Psalm 92:12-14 Living Bible
***
Our souls cannot be forced to grow, but like flowers,
our spiritual selves can be nurtured until they blossom and flourish.
James Van Praagh
***
A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump;
a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.

***
God has invested entirely too much in you for you to be comfortable
in anything less than you were created to be.
T. D. Jakes

[God says,]
I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—
plans to take care of you, not abandon you,
plans to give you the future you hope for.
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message

“Flourishing is not the absence of darkness;
it’s the decision to bloom anyway.”
Morgan Harper Nichols

There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind
that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it
and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.
Philippians 1:6 The Message
***
“If I’m not flourishing, I might want to check out the soil.”
