Multi color roses are interesting to the eye. 8-14-2018 Perryton, TX
I have several rose bushes
that bear multi-color roses. The one I have posted is made up of
white, light pink, dark pink, and almost a touch of red. I believe in
the animal world of dogs these roses would be called mutts. But they
are still very beautiful. I also have a mixed tone of yellows that
are gorgeous. I love all my roses be they pure bred, or mixed breed.
I also see this in the human race. Every human is created by God, and
only He can make them beautiful. It is not the color, sex, nor size
that makes the Master's bouquet beautiful, It's the perfection of the
arrangement. A rose bouquet that has lost some of it's pedals is not
fit to be set on the King's table. Considering we are a rose and want
to be chosen as a center piece on the Kings table, we must be of
strong character, without jealousy of the other roses. We must take
care not to lose a pedal. We must stay lively even when the water is
low on our stem. I have noticed some roses stay livelier than others
even when the water is at full capacity. Maybe the florist was not
able to get the best, well groomed roses, and had to substitute with
next-beat. The moral of this story is if we don't have the best
character, the perfect amount of pedals, the ability to stay lively
in low water, we may not be fit for the King's arrangement, but He
may use us at the guest's table. Everyone has a place in the good
life God made for us, but we must not abuse that place by refusing to
accept the natural beauty of our heritage.
The bible teaches us that
beauty comes from the heart. No matter how much we may try to make
this body look better, or how much we may try to dramatize to be more
noticeable, if the heart is not beautiful then neither will the body
be. The heart is made beautiful by giving it wholly to God. No other
way can this be possible but to admit that we are as low as the dirt
on the ground, and ask God to make us whole. If we ever decide to
take our heart back from God, then we will become ten times uglier.
While God is all about love, He is not all gullible. He is a jealous
God, and will not allow no other God but Him. He is a just God, and
will not judge unfairly. He tells us in his Word that all are equal,
and no one can be wise but by His (God's) own delivery. A quote from
God that I have always remembered is this, “if anyone lack wisdom
let him ask of God.” James 1:5. Ask, trust, and deliver, and faith
will increase daily.
God Bless
