Book Synopsis

Are you looking for a new way of living? A way that stops anxious thoughts and releases heavy burdens you are not meant to carry? In The Way of the Wildflower, join bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons as she invites you to learn the art of pausing in God's rest to live free, unhurried, and unburdened.

Wildflowers don't need to be taught how to live freely, to release their burdens, or to work for their belovedness, freedom, and resilience.

In Luke 12:25-28 ESV, Jesus tells us, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you--you of little faith!"

Friend, the antidote to our burdened hearts is to live as children who rest in the care of our heavenly Father. We don't need to labor and spin, as though it all depends on us. It doesn't. In The Way of the Wildflower, you will embark on a spiritual journey led by Ruth Chou Simons to grow deeper in your relationship with God. In this beautiful, deluxe, full-color devotional, hand-painted by Ruth with stunning botanicals, you'll discover:

• Bible verses to feed you truth
• Statements of faith to preach to yourself
• Prayers to guide you
• Interesting facts about wildflowers and lessons we can learn from them

As you journey through 30 meditations, you will learn five ways of wildflowers:

• The Way of Dependency
• The Way of Freedom
• The Way of Resilience
• The Way of the Unhurried
• The Way of Belovedness

The same Jesus who instructs us to not worry about our lives is the Jesus who made a path for us to have the ultimate assurance of salvation. He made a way to the Father when there was no way. Is anything too hard for our God? Are any of your worries and fears beyond his capable hands?

If you're wrestling with your past, struggling in your present, or fearful for your future, pause and be still. Consider how the wildflowers grow, remember that the God who cares for them cares for you, too, and let your anxious soul find rest in Him.
