Flower that never fades

Oh, God we know our life is.
But a flower that blooms and goes.
In this, treasured time in your presence.
Keep one clear from feuds of tangled weeds.
That lives to choke out the light by dirty deeds.
Keep ones roots nourished from your truth.
To go back to the Love of a youth.
Growing towards the light that is glorious.
Flourishing, with living water to show your glory.
Fill ones  blooms with pollen to spread.
For the bees and butterflies to fly across the land.
Be with them in holding on to these treasures.
Breathing ,forth new life to another flower seeking.
To give encouragement and comfort.
That ,there is another one out here praying for you.
Although, many have fallen over in disbelief.
Sprinkle this Love over to bring relief.
That ,when one's time on this earth is done.
It will be noticed this flowers direction of growth.
Although, ones appearance might be fading away.
Inwardly,this process of God's power 
Is being renewed full of life day by day 
Shall, the Lord mold one  to  become a flower 
Which ,never fades in the City of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Which has been made available in this moment.

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/3/2024 3:10:00 PM Stephan! This reads amost like a great hymn, if not better! We have free will which fliowers, of course do not have, We are more powerful l to be a force for good in the universe or evil! Flowers don’t talk badly about each other and neither should we. What comes out of our mouth is very important. I do understand your aabout the flower, of course. Just reminding people that they are far more beautiful.. and we are alive every day of the year. To beautify this planet or not. Pangie xx Login to Reply Stephan McBride Date: 4/3/2024 6:19:00 PM Go tell it from the rooftops : ).

Valsa George Date: 4/2/2024 9:24:00 PM We are all flowers. But we get smothered by tangling weeds. We fade and wither without enough water. Free us of all encumbrances and sprinkle on us the drops of 'living water' so that we shall bloom eternal in the city of the Heavenly Jerusalem. A beautiful prayer.
