God's Flower Garden

This flower is the first ones usually seen just before spring. They are yellow in color, and I have seen them come up with snow still on them. I like to think of these flowers as John The Baptist flowers.

Their message is that Spring is on the way. Just as John the Baptist was the fore runner of the Lord Jesus. I have met some of this kind of Christians, no matter what the weather is they are proclaiming that the Lord Jesus is coming. Nothing can stop them from their ministry of winning others to the Saviour. Jesus is coming! Get ready people!

(3) Morning Glories

John 15: 1-5; I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

The morning glory flower is a pretty flower, but the vines on which they grow can cause a lot of trouble to those who have gardens. I remember well when as a young boy my father planted a large garden each year. Guess who had to keep the weeds out of the garden? Me, and my brothers. Boy did I hate those morning glories too. We seemed to daily have to hoe, and pull those vines and flowers out of the garden. They were pretty when the were in full bloom, but when the sun came up those pretty flowers would close and the vines would wind themselves around the corn or any other vegetable in our garden.

You and I both have known some Christians that are like morning glories. Open bloom for a while, but when the sun comes up their flower closes and they are nothing but choking vines, destroying the goo vegetable plants.

(4) Bleeding Hearts

Mark 5:38; And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

Mark 14:72; And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

Acts 20:37; And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,

Mark 16:10; And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

The bleeding heart flower is a white flower with little red dots near it’s middle. The red dots look like little drops of blood dropped on a white cloth. I like to call these the weeping flower. They seem to always be sad in appearance. Some people especially Christians are like the bleeding hearts, they are always crying or weeping about something. They are the Boo hoo people.

Something in the Church goes contrary to what they thing or want and they begin to boo hoo about it. But you probably do not know any bleeding heart Christians do you?
