THE ROSE 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, The flower God opens so sweetly, In my hands would fade and die. - I cannot unfold a rosebud, This flower of God's design, Then how can I have wisdom To unfold this life of mine? - So I'll trust Him for His leading Each moment of every day And I'll look to Him for His guidance Each step of the pilgrim way. - For the pathway that lies before me My heavenly Father knows I'll trust Him to unfold the moments Just as He unfolds the rose. ~By Author Unknown~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Note from Cobblestone Road Ministries: Colossians 3:2-4 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Aren't you glad that God holds you in the palm of His hand? Our Heavenly Father keeps us safe in His care. Our life is hidden with Christ Jesus in God. We are safe. And just as the poem says, we will look to Him for His guidance and trust Him -- for He knows the path before us and will lead us until that glorious day when we shall see Him face to face.. Psalm 108:3-4 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. We will trust Him to unfold the moments Just as He unfolds the rose. The Lord is faithful!
