A Rosebud Blooms

by Jenny Wren

There the leafy skirt of the mother rose
That covers her baby in sleepy repose
Awakening he peeks around mother’s skirt
Proudly displaying his bright red shirt

Her baby likes the feel of a sun so hot
He disliked the bath, from dew he got
Now He's stretching there upon his limb
But his stem would not let go of him

Soon Bud relents nay, he does not fight
Starts to unfold with all of his might
Bud is about half-grown this fatal day
While stretching about trying to play

A harsh feel of steel, yes, Bud is picked
A little rose-bud is cut to the quick
There lies Bud in the prime of his life
Cut down by a mother with a sharp knife

So out of the sunshine and its warm ray
A little bud's taken on this fatal day Now,
Two big blue eyes, peek from a bed
"I've a' buddy' for you," the mother said

This tiny frail child is terminally ill
But the fragile smile gave' bud' a thrill
Bud knew that he had one life to give -
(Wishes so hard for this child to live)

Little Bud sees the joy he has brought
As a vase for water her mother sought
Bud thinks' "I'll bloom for her this day"
He realizes the child is passing away

Now, Bud's so sensitive to the thought
That a tear of dew to him it brought
Snug in the vase of a rose-bud stand
There's no finer soldier in this land
 

A rose-bud collects the courage he needs
To go full bloom from the water beads
It finally happens, the rose full bloom
His sweet aroma ..then fills the room

A blood red rose blooms for three days
As in contentment, the tiny child lays
Her doctor will come, on the forth day
To find two tiny spirits have sailed away

Song of Solomon 2
1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.


THE EVIL ONE WHO KILLS

Satan, the one who deceives any and all if he can, is a spirit. He is a horrid spirit and seems to be around the children of the creator since the garden, but God created all things and all things have a purpose in the great plan of things happening and things to come.


Ever since the garden, there has been living in one body the good and the evil side by side for us to choose from in our lives. We daily make choices, each choice either furthers us into His kingdom or it deters our journey, when condemnation of our souls come to us and we reach the age of accountability. We begin to see choices and we sometimes sneakily make the wrong ones, and sometimes the right ones. We know inside of our spirit when we are doing wrong because of the consciousness God has placed inside of each of us.


Some have done wrong so very long until the consciousness is almost killed unless God can convict you of your wrongdoings and bring you into his life. If you accept his life, you can start the growing inside of you when Jesus moves into your heart and life. He will eventually take over the life and you shall live as one of Gods own.


Some people cannot see this. They see it as something that is too simple. Therefore they think it could not be the truth, so they ignore the truth and study man's mistakes and learn how other men failed or succeeded in life.


Right away I saw that if I cannot trust the creator, how on earth am I going to trust his creation, instead of him the creator. It is just that simple. God made us for his own. We are each unique and live this day for a specific part of his great master plan of creating a body for himself to love, his church, his place of worship, remembering when Solomon built God's church out of man-made things.


It sufficed for a while for God and he was excited to live there. He even ran the people out of that monstrosity of a building. It could not hold all of his spirit, which so filled the humble abode, which could not hold the 'master creator' of all things, for creation was not going to suffice.  

Solomon's church building, in all of its fancy and riches, that huge temple could never compare to the human building, the human temple of God. Yes the temple of God is inside of each of his 'called' children, God whose throne is created upon each of his children's hearts.
 

So God himself has built inside of man, God's own creation, inside of him is where the Spirit of God has room to stretch out and grow, inside of his individual child, making up his giant humble abode, the huge combined body which holds the cornerstone of the glorified body of Jesus who made this possible through God. Yes, our Father God, which is now head over all of his combined church. Praise God for this revelation.

The growth of the living church, inside of each of the called out, the individual children of God, is a very slow process. God struggles with each of us, for us to get each part just right.


He can see down around the curves in each of our lives and he has set up roadblocks which we have to have his help in getting around. We have to learn to trust, to obey blindly, when we cannot see, as we let his holy spirit teach and guide us, as we daily live in love for each other.


He knows what lies ahead of each of us. We are to simply have a trust in our faith in God. This is the hardest lesson for a child to learn, and to learn to toss out vanity when it rears its ugly head, which it does the older you get in the Lord and the more wise you become.


Eventually you start trusting 'self' instead of God, and wanting to please self once again, just as in the beginning. I am here to tell you this does not work.


This will not work. Self is not to be trusted with such a valuable task - only trust in your creator, who made and is teaching you, to trust and to have faith in that trusting in him.


As we go further into this journey with the lord, the tests and trials get harder and more durable, lasting much longer until it seems the devil sees that you love the Lord with all of your heart and will not give him up, no matter how many times you are embarrassed or what happens. You are God's for keep. Finally the devil will have to let up on you and just ever so often he will pull a sneaky over you just to keep you sharp in the lord.

The reason I know this is because he just had him pull a dilly on me.

Praise God for a sister who has shown me the way out. We find, as we struggle along in life, just who and who not to trust. Satan indeed is a beacon of light, at times, but he does not know how to love. There is his Achilles heel; he does not understand love nor does he want to. He is vain; he wants us to rule ourselves.

So he can be our ruler. Satan is out to take all of God's children away from him, but he is a tarnished light. He indeed does know scripture. He has heard it from the beginning, but he does not appreciate it.


He is out to dislodge God from his seat of authority, but God is jealous of us his children, and he will take care of the nasty beast within which turns on us every once in a while. When least expected.


It seems that each of our tests and trials purifies us even more and more. As we grow less in ourselves, we lose old self and self dies a thankful death. You are so glad to get rid of the satanic feelings inside of you, anything that wants to usurp God in his majestic stand for his own children.


The bad is burnt away just as dirt that gets into the melted liquid and purified. Gold has to be burned away. The only way God knows when the gold is right is when he looks into the kettle of reasoning and he sees himself looking back at his own reflection in the dross free crystal clear gold.


You cannot have the heat too high or it kills God's heat of tests and trials that have to be, at the discretion of the master goldsmith.


He knows when Satan is gone in you, and you are deemed as one of his own. You are then worthy to be as one of the building stones of his vast worship center network, the church, praise God, and God is finally loved in purity as it was, in the beginning, before Satan became a reality in our lives.


When the last breath of life leaves the old worn out from life body, it is a long withdrawn spirit which has been cut free. Inside of the soul of man his spirit sails away home with the soul intact.. Just as the butterfly slides forth from the cocoon of life, the body leaves the tattered and torn body of mankind as it heads for home….with God, from where it originated. As the breath of God
