DESERT ROSES

Roses will grow in the desert.
For God said they would blossom there,
So cling to this promise tightly
And then watch for the blooms with prayer.
Our personal deserts of life
May be filled with pain and despair,
But roses will bloom when we place
Our grief’s on His shoulders with prayer.
Our deserts of life, our sorrows
May seem countless as grains of sand
But roses will grow as promised
When we reach for His outstretched hand.

………and the desert shall rejoice,
and blossom as the rose.
It shall blossom abundantly,
And rejoice even with joy and singing……
Isaiah 35:1b, -2a
