This is a silver fern from New Zealand. The shape it creates is called a Koru (Māori for “loop or coil”) symbolizing new life, growth, strength and peace.

Today, as I look at this,it symbolizes REST & PEACE. The ability to be able to rest in God’s perfect will and plan for my life. The reminder that His kingdom, His portion for my life is living in His perfect peace, which means I do not EVER have to get caught up in striving. I don’t have to be bound by the world’s idea of “being somebody”. I do not need to be driven by man’s approval or that I have to be producing something in order to be valued. My identify, my life, my future is safely wrapped up in God’s hands. Nothing can snatch me from that place.

I am enough. I am valued. Highly treasured and favored by God. I have nothing to prove. I can serve, love, live, be and do all that He sets before me without worry, without strife, without stress, as I fully trust Him and His lead for my life. Just as Jesus did – only what the Father told Him. He led. He listened. He went. He healed. He walked. He ate. He stayed. He prayed. He taught. He rested. He laughed. He loved. He shared. He rebuked. He revealed. He restored. He moved.

He brought life to those who who had ears to hear and eyes to see. And so can we. Be still. Lean in. Listen. Learn to trust. Live from that place of knowing you are wrapped in His love and He will fulfill HIS great purposes in your life.
