WELL! Life is. I am amazed again. Thursday night I suddenly noticed that something else had popped up on my rose bush on the deck. I went to look closer and there were 3 more brand new rose buds. They have opened now and are hung in a little bundle with my first one drying. He gave me 3 more gift roses, but had a HUGE message. He said, “you often miss, don’t notice or disregard what you don’t see, because you don’t know.” In high school my Biology teacher was amazing and my favorite teacher of all 13 years of schooling. He made us repeat daily, “You only see what you know!” I have never forgotten it and it is true. I saw the first tiny rose gift and missed the other 3 because I didn’t know to look further in that moment for tiny green buds still coming. He has told me that we–I do this with people and situations. They are still in process–HIS growth season–not mine. They will bloom and blossom under HIS care for his reasons and in HIS time. I need to love and be patient and give HIM the true gardener time to work, prune, nourish, water, shine light upon and bring forth. He is unending in His ability to apply Himself to life because HE is life. He is Shepherd with Sheep, Water to Thirst, Food and meat for the hungry, Milk for babes, Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings, Savior, Friend, King, Lord, God. I have been thrilled with my little roses this week.
I hear His voice saying, “are you as thrilled with MY little roses–people still in the growth process? Don’t write them off or shun, or think ME done. Wait upon Me. Come to Me when you need help and answers in regards to people in your life. You cannot control things–I DO! Quit trying. Leave it all to ME. I have you and them. Pray for them about everything. Don’t run your mouth in anger, frustration, berating, etc. Love them as I do. You will know from now on as you listen and obey and follow Me more closely every day. You are learning from Me how to treat, care, tend, love Mine, as I do you. No more shame for you or them. I removed it all. TRUST ME to DO MY WORK in you and them and all circumstances happening in your life. All is well and good and you can REST assured that it is SO!
Last night we watched the movie “RISEN” and I was in tears, just sitting and starring by the end. I’m going to watch again today before I return it. It has shown ME more of His love and power. HE IS GOD AND LORD AND KING AND FRIEND AND COMING BRIDEGROOM! Get ready. Be alert, awake, prepared in your spirit–One with Him excited and ready to SEE HIM in person. He is coming Soon–quickly He says in Revelation 22. Until that moment HE promised “I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS!” What more could we possibly need than Him.
