Sprout

If seeds refused to grow, imagine how much color and beauty would be stripped from our world? When we remain stagnant in our lives, not only are we preventing our own selves from growth but from blossoming and beautifying the world all together.

In Chapter 6 of the Quran, verse 95, God states that He is the one who causes the seed to split and thus, grow. Immediately after this statement He then says that it is also He who gives life after death. If we don’t give ourselves the chance to sprout, how will we then taste life in all its meaning? When we refuse to grow, we are essentially choosing death before our time even comes. But God wants better for us. He gave the seed the ability to sprout. Who said you can’t too?

“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”- Anais Nin
