My favorite type of plant is an epiphyte, which includes orchids, bromeliads, and Tillandsia. They are relatively easy to grow, are shade tolerant, and rarely need to be anchored to the ground. I especially love the variety of colors and sizes available. I can leave them for weeks at a time without care, and they continue to thrive. 

I can relate to these types of plants; maybe that’s why I love them. Think about your life; must you be attached to the earth? As Christians, our anchor is Jesus, God is our Father, and we feed off the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. We have a physical being, but our life is spiritual, similar to epiphytes which receive their nourishment from the air and the debris surrounding them. Like epiphytes, we come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, and add beauty to this world, and bring light into the darkness. Can you relate to this?

But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24
