What Does “Flourishing with God” Mean to Me?
For me, flourishing with God isn't about perfection—it's about connection. It's about walking through life with Him at the center, leaning into His guidance, and experiencing a life that's rich, whole, and full of purpose.
Flourishing with God often reminds me of the word shalom, which the Bible uses to describe a deep, all-encompassing peace. It's not just the absence of conflict but a sense of wholeness, harmony, and alignment with God's design for our lives. It's living in the kind of peace that only He can give—a peace that fills every corner of our hearts and minds, no matter the circumstances. Diffusing Ylang Ylang helps me create an atmosphere that supports this sense of peace, all in an aroma.
It means growing spiritually, even through challenges. It's about aligning my heart with His will and letting His love and truth shape my thoughts, actions, and decisions. It's finding joy in His presence and peace in the knowledge that He's working in every area of my life. Applying a drop of Ylang Ylang to my wrists throughout the day reminds me to pause, breathe, and reconnect with Him.
It's also about seeing His goodness in the small things—a quiet morning prayer, a verse that speaks to my soul, or the strength He gives me to face the day. It's letting His values shine through how I love others, care for myself, and steward the gifts He's given me.
True flourishing isn't measured by worldly success but by the deep fulfillment that comes from walking in step with God. It's a life where His grace fills the gaps, His peace calms the storms, and His love overflows into everything I do. Using Ylang Ylang as part of my self-care routine is one way I show gratitude for His love and provision.
If you're longing to flourish with God, take heart. It's not about having it all figured out—it's about seeking Him daily and trusting that He'll meet you exactly where you are.
