I looked out my window and saw this beautiful red rose. Just when I needed most, My Heavenly Father, gives me such a beautiful gift - a beautiful rose in the middle of withering plants. I'm prompted to go and cut it so that I can enjoy it in my home. As I come in to put it in a vase, my mind travels back in time to December 2009...It was a few days before Mom's homegoing and, just like today, I saw a beautiful red, solitary, rose. the Spirit of the Living God prompted me to cut it and bring it as a gift for my ailing, frail mother - to brighten up her day...she loved rose bushes with their elegant, beautiful flowers.
Time...seasons...changes...
Today, My Heavenly Father, knew I needed a special gift to brighten up my day. He is doing so much in my life; He is healing, mending, shining His Light and goodness upon areas of my life that have been kept "safely, tucked away", never to be seen, never to be remembered...it hurts too much to remember. However, unless he takes the scabs away there will be no healing. I read this in a Study I'm doing: "It may be necessary for the LORD to remove the scabs from your wounds so that He can apply the Balm of Gilead, which is the Word of God, so that true healing can take place." That is what is happening...in His gentle way; in His loving way; in His Loving Father way...Today He just knew I needed Him to love on me in His gentle and loving way. Hence, He gave me this beautiful rose.
When I can't see You,
I know You are here
when I can't hear You
I will not fear
I will trust in YOU
and I will not be afraid
and when the battle is close at hand
I know You are with me to help me stand
I will trust in You
and will not be afraid
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID - I WILL TRUST IN YOU!
