A rose in the middle of a desert
Where did she come from?
How did she get here?
What keeps her going?
People look & say “she is out of place”
Why is she here?
Others see one lonely rose
But You…
You see life in the middle of death
You see a candle in the dark
You see the rose you formed
You look on her with the utmost love
She asks you, “why did you place me here?”
I feel alone
There is nothing here
Struggling with who I am
I don’t understand
Then she hears His soft voice
As gently as dew touches the rose
He shows her a “different” view
Through the eyes of her maker
She sees herself
What He sees is LOVE
Love that was needed in this dead dry place
Kindness that only she could bring
Tender heart that only she possessed
She was created by Him for this place
A place where there was no life
He simply planted His LOVE
One single rose was enough
Others may think she is not
Even she struggles with the thought
But He knows
In Him, she is enough
His love within her
Strong
Able to grow
Even when death surrounds her
She understands a bit more now
Not completely, not yet
Her questions & confusion subsided
Her faith stronger
Peace in her heart
A smile
The world sees…
Small
Insignificance
Not important
Not that pretty
Will not last
That is just the first glance
But something catches their eye
She looks up at the sunrise
She greets her creator
He reaches down
Kisses her head with the dew of the morning
Causing her to beam
They see “her” now
The small insignificant thing before?
She is gone
Now they see a fully bloomed rose
Something of amazing beauty
The end of her story?
Not by a long shot
Just wait & see
There’s more, lots more!
