Expect the Miraculous!

This evening in prayer I saw an image of a lotus flower growing in the middle of a desert. I wasn't sure what a lotus flower was so I did a little research and found out that the lotus flower in some cultures is seen as a very sacred flower. It really only grows in water sources like ponds, lakes and where there is watery mud. It would be a miraculous occurrence for one to grow in the desert where there is only dryness and heat.

The sense I had was that many right now in the Body of Christ are experiencing a spiritual dryness and type of desert. The Lord seems very distant to you even when you try to pray. The Lord wants to encourage you tonight that if you persevere, press in and stay rooted in Christ's love, you will bloom like a lotus flower even in the midst of the desert.
