These words, O so familiar to us all carry so much comfort and power. They say,whoever believes. It doesn't say you have to be perfect, beautiful, complete and are not excepted if you are otherwise. It say, whoever believes. I held a perfect rose in my hand. It was full of beautiful perfume . I passed it around the group of older, frail people and each person removed a petal until there was nothing left but one limp petal, a broken stem and a withered rose head. There was no longer anything beautiful about it. It was broken. God loves us all, we only have to believe. And what a message to take to the world. Pack that in your spiritual memory bank and take it out when someone needs assurance of the love of God, even if they are broken.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
Beautiful, and packed full of perfume. |
