A Rose in the desert
blooms and glows
with its life-giving flow.
All around
the land is dry
and thirsty.  No water
cultivates the desert sands.

Yet, the Rose grows
in a miracle of love,
as a symbol
of Christ, the Vine.
For the Rose grew not
on its own; but through
the Outpoured Rain

which fell from God's own sky.
So, if you find yourself
dry and thirsty
wandering the desert lands,
just look to the wonder
of the Rose Who blooms
in the middle of the desert.

(smiles) This is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love the deserts and it is a miracle how both God and Mother Nature can unite and bring miracles to the most seemingly impossible places! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ivy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

A very sweet and beautiful way to view God's nourishment to us. We are indeed God's floweres in the desert!

Yes, and  I believe it is named the Rose of Sharon.  Some wonderful advice in the Lord expressed here in your poem.  -Bob
