A Never Fading Flower

Betty Ford Alpine Garden, Vail, Colorado

Many flowering plants only bloom for a short period of time. As such, we spend most of the year waiting for these plants to flower.

Why are we willing to grow plants that only bloom for a fraction of the year? Because the beauty of these flowers, like the ones above, captivate us.

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8 English Standard Version

The only flower that will never fade is the Word of God. It was the Word of God that called creation into existence. It was the Word of God that was born into this world, crucified on the cross and raised from the dead. It is the Word of God on which we daily feed.

What Jesus has done for us will never fade, so we no longer wait, but experience the beauty of God's love for us every day. We know that as the days pass and the years roll on, the beauty and fragrance of God's passion for us will always bloom.

Everyday is walk through God's garden of his perennial love.
