"The story of the Yellow Rose"

The gardener went down to the field
to plant some flowers.
“What is going to happen to me?” the seed thought.
I love the life I live as a seed,
I don’t want to leave this life.

The gardener comforted the seed
As He made a hole in the ground with His finger
And He gently placed the seed in the hole.
The seed was sad.
It felt the gardener didn’t care for her anymore
And wanted to hide her
so He would forget about her
God has not forgotten you
He has placed you in the hole (trials & temptations).
You might feel right now that the sunlight will never come.
It takes time for a beautiful flower to grow,
First the flower has to be placed in the ground.
This just might be the time you are in right now
God just wants to tell you one thing,
“Make your roots grow deep in the Firm Foundation.”
The time will come when you, the yellow rose, will be given time in the sunlight.
Push through the dirt!!
