The sunflower is a symbol for “Disciples”
(They follow the sun (Son) and are full of seeds which is the word of God (Luke 8:11)
“But for you who obey me, my saving power will rise on you like the sun and bring healing like the sun’s rays. You will be as free and happy as calves let out of a stall.” Malachi 4:2
When I shared this with some friends they told me how they had observed a whole field of sunflowers their faces towards the sun. When the sun moved the flowers moved! We have been going through a very challenging refiners fire and I just hold onto those words from a song: “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”
