GOD WANTS YOU TO FLOURISH Flourish as a word itself is in the present tense. It stands as a verb, an action word. It is not past tense, but it is in the present tense. To me this means flourishing in life is something we are called to be doing presently. Flourish, parach in Hebrew, means to break forth anew. In other words we are to break forth into the newness of God and break out of the old things of yesterday that have hindered our growth. As you read this book about how God desires for you to flourish in life through the simple definitions, hope will arise and your life will begin to prosper Author Katesha Melody Walker Harrell has a Bachelor's Degree in English and Middle Grades Education.
