UNFOLDING THE ROSE


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


It is only a tiny rosebud, a flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals, with these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers, is not known to such as I .

GOD opens this flower so sweetly, when in my hands they would fade and die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower of GOD's design,
Then how can I think I have the wisdom, to unfold this life of mine.

So I'll trust in Him for His leading, each moment of the day.
I will look to him for HIs guidance, each step of the pilgram way.
The pathway that lies before me, only my Heavenly Father knows,
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments, just as He unfolds the rose.

"I know the plans I have for you".............Jeremiah 29:11
The Lord knows where we are and where he is leading us. He knows the plans he has for each one of us. Why is it so hard to trust him and believe he knows what he is doing?.... Because we are human. We want to work out a plan our own way with our own hands; however, each time we do, we open the rose prematurely and it destroys the beautiful perfume inside and bruises the soft petals.

Our life is like the rose. Each time we get in Gods way of what he wants to do in our life....we damage the perfect plan he has. If we will allow him...he will unfold his perfect will in our life, and too like the rose, we will enjoy the sweet perfume that only comes from allowing God to ......unfold the rose.
