God Communicates
Most people believe that God is silent.
Many Christians believe that God answers prayers by results of what happened. - Yes, No or Wait.
I believe that God communicates millions of ways. Via:
Emotions, feelings, messengers, dogs, cats, animals, flowers, plants, trees, space, time, energy, oceans, landscapes, sunsets, sun, moon, stars, storms, weather, earthquakes, clouds, rain, people, talking, books, the Bible, thoughts, help from others, research, experience, advice from others, education, music, coincidences, karma, guilt, changes, love, sex, childbirth, marriage, death ... and so much more.

And why do you worry about clothes?

They do not labor.
Pray, Give God your Worries
The now, the present is God's gift to you.

Spiritual Gifts are Like Flowers

Yes, the spiritual gifts can be likened to a garden of vibrant flowers,
each with its unique beauty, fragrance, and purpose.

3 - Teaching is like a wise, majestic oak tree, providing shade and insight.
4 - Exhortation is like a vibrant, encouraging daffodil, lifting spirits and hope.
5 - Giving is like a generous, fragrant rose, sharing love and resources.
6 - Leadership is like a strong, guiding evergreen, directing and protecting.
7 - Mercy is like a soothing, gentle lily, bringing peace and compassion.
8 - Hospitality is like a warm, inviting geranium, welcoming and nurturing.
9 - Administration is like a skilled, organized orchid, streamlining and managing.
10 - Discernment is like a perceptive, intuitive iris, sensing and revealing truth.
11 - Healing is like a restorative, soothing aloe vera, bringing wholeness and health.
12 - Faith is like a steadfast, trusting succulent, anchoring and persevering.
13 - Wisdom is like a discerning, insightful orchid, applying knowledge & experience.
