Weekly Thought
A woman planted a rare rosebush, fussed over it, fertilized it, watered it, and was incredibly disappointed when she saw no reward of her labors. The rose bush simply wouldn't grow.
Then one day she visited her neighbor and discovered that shoots from this bush had pushed through to the other side of the fence and were blooming in splendid beauty there. She thought to herself of some recent disappointments in her prayer life and realized that faith in God is much like her rose bush. You can't always see the results of what God is doing in your life, but if you have patience and perseverance, you will discover that He was creating something beautiful in you all along.
Hope requires perseverance. The rewards found inside us and that await us in heaven are worth any struggles we face here on earth.
God, thank You for giving me so much to look forward to. Please strengthen my spirit and help me persevere. Amen.
