“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
The Seeds You Don't See Growing : A Resurrection Sunday Reflection
Happy Resurrection Sunday.
Or as some may say — Happy Easter.
Today I was reminded of my youth.
Every year, we would practice and prepare our Easter speech.
At the time? It was just about recitation.
Don't forget the words. Hit your marks. Sit down.
But here's the thing...
Little did I realize what was actually happening.
Seeds were being planted.
Seeds of faith. Seeds of public speaking. Seeds of preparation.
Get this...
Something that felt like a simple childhood exercise helped shape who I became.
Isn't it interesting how small things blossom into something extraordinary?
The Poem That Stopped Me
I came across a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier called "An Easter Flower Gift."
"O dearest bloom the seasons know, Flowers of the Resurrection blow, Our hope and faith restore; And through the bitterness of death And loss and sorrow, breathe and breathe Of life forevermore!"
Think about it…
Through the bitterness. Through the loss. Through the sorrow.
Life forevermore.
That's not just a poem about flowers.
That's a promise.
Because of what Christ did on the cross — we don't just survive the bitterness.
We get life. Abundantly. Forevermore.
The Heart of the Season
Whittier goes on to write:
"The thought of Love Immortal blends With fond remembrances of friends; The heavenly and the earthly meet, The heart of Christ is ours!"
Think about that for a second...
The heavenly and the earthly meeting.
That's exactly what Easter represents.
Not just a holiday. Not just a tradition.
A reminder that even in your darkest season — something is growing underground.
Even when you can't see it.
Even when it feels like nothing is happening.
The seed is still working.
And the greatest seed ever planted?
Was placed in a tomb on Friday.
By Sunday — it had changed everything.
The Challenge: Trust the Seeds
This week, ask yourself:
What are you going through right now that feels like nothing is happening?
Where have you already seen small things blossom into something you didn't expect?
What seed are you planting today that your future self will thank you for?
Remember this…
Stop rushing the bloom. Trust the seed.
Cheers!
