*A Flower of God's Design.............*

A young preacher was walking with an older more seasoned preacher in the
garden one day and the younger preacher, feeling a bit insecure about what
God had for him to do, he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older
preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and
told him to open it without tearing off any petals. The young preacher
looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what
a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the WILL OF GOD
for his life and for his ministry. Because of his high respect for the older
preacher, he proceeded to TRY to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal
intact it wasn't long before he realized how impossible it was to do so.
Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud while
keeping it intact, the older preacher began to recite the following poem. "It
is only a tiny rosebud, a flower of God's design; but I cannot unfold the
petals with these clumsy hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers is
not known to such as I. GOD opens this flower so sweetly. When in my hands
they die. If I cannot unfold a rosebud this flower of God's design. Then how
can I have the wisdom to unfold this life of mine? So I'll trust in Him for
leading each moment of my day. I will look to him for His guidance each step
of the pilgrim way. The pathway that lies before me, only my Heavenly Father
knows. I'll trust Him to unfold the moments, just as He unfolds the rose"
