My romantic heart had me contemplating roses Saturday morning. I’m not a big flower gal, not that I’ve ever received any, I guess… so maybe that’s why. But, I think even if I did, it wouldn’t be like I would say that’s the most romantic thing. I would never say “Get me flowers, and I’ll be happy.” I’d probably rather be given hand picked books or be taken on a romantic walk down the Christian romance aisle. Just to name a couple of interesting things, here.
I don’t know what my favorite flower is, but it could be roses. Who knows? Currently, my favorite plant is a sweet potato vine. I love those things. It’s a shame they don’t stay alive year round.
Anyway, that afternoon my Gma and I were listening to Contemporary Christian music on MusicChoice and this song came on. First time I had heard it. It’s so beautiful. 🥹

Lyrics:
Ever wonder what was on the mind of the Maker
When He turned all of our sorrow into fields of grace
Right here in the middle of earth and Heaven
Caught between the romance and the pain
Can’t you see that
He must’ve known about the heartbreak long before us
He must’ve known about the mistakes, still He chose us
Planted the tree where He would die
Put thorns down the vine, and then He wore them
And love is the blood red stain, the beauty that the pain exposes
Maybe that’s why God made roses
God is in the whisper if you listen closely
Winter means that spring is just a breath away
So don’t go any faster than this very moment
Sing a hallelujah in the pouring rain
Can’t you see that
He must’ve known about the heartbreak long before us
He must’ve known about the mistakes, still He chose us
Planted the tree where He would die
Put thorns down the vine, and then He wore them
And love is the blood red stain, the beauty that the pain exposes
Maybe that’s why God made roses
Maybe that’s why God made roses
And just like petals falling to the ground
We fall in to the One who’s resurrection’s here and now
All things made new
And just like petals falling to the ground
We fall in to the One who’s resurrection’s here and now
All things made new
Can’t you see that
He must’ve known about the heartbreak long before us
He must’ve known about the mistakes, still He chose us
Planted the tree where He would die
Put thorns down the vine, and then He wore them
And love is the blood red stain, the beauty that the pain exposes
Maybe that’s why God made roses
Maybe that’s why God made roses
In one song, we know that God knew and God planned every single aspect of what would happen and what will happen going forward. We’re seen and we’re chosen.
God didn’t just make roses, but this is a beautiful reminder that God had a reason for everything He created, including you and me!
Have a great Sunday. 🤗
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
