Mary K. Price God's Roses

Annotation

Gods RosesI saw a rose once blooming beside a garden wall. It unfolded its lovely petals and stood up straight and tall.The sun in all its glory kissed all the dew away. The breeze caught the rose in its arms and caused it to gently sway.The fragrance filled the garden; its sweetness filled the air. Its beauty could not be captured; Gods love placed it there.Summer passed, then Autumn; its leaves began to fall. The wind blew the lovely petals; some fell on the garden wall.Autumn passed, then Winter; the rose could no longer be found. The storms in all their fury had buried it beneath the ground.This rose is like the Christian; the sun shines, then departs. But God in His infinite mercy knows the strength of the human heart.Then Spring with a burst of glory invades the garden wall. And Gods children shall rise again like the rose beside the wall.
