MYSTERY OF BEAUTY 3 THE PARABLE OF THE ROSE!

Our Lord always used natural things in parables to illustrate divine mysteries. The word says we should learn from nature to see how the power and wisdom of God works.

“But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! 20 By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse…” 21 Romans 1:19-21 (MSG)

Lets learn from the little rose by taking a thoughtful look at its power of attraction! Both to mankind and insects. What does a Rose do to be desired and pursued? Be a rose of course! It does not have to study what human beings desire, or the insect’s instinct, on the contrary human beings were designed with sight and smell to desire that which the rose was naturally designed to reflect. Furthermore when it is time for pollination, the rose merely gives a fragrance that the insect is designed by God to sense and be attracted to.

“For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,…” Romans”1:20 (NIV)

From the wisdom of the rose; what do you have to do to attract the right relationships? Or do you still feel like asking “what does a man want?” to know what you need to do to be desired?

Well you might say the relationship and attraction of a rose and insect or human being is not as complicated as that of human beings. Well you complicated it. The rose has no mind to work against God’s designs on it. You have a mind that nullifies what God and His law of attraction writes in your spirit.

“I have discovered that God made people upright, but they pursued many schemes.” Eccl 7:29 (HCSB)

“Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.” Eccl 7:29 (KJV)

Matthew 15:6

“thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”

KJV

We all pursue our schemes and seek to reinvent ourselves in search of relationships. Without the light of God, we use the rules, schemes, psychology in our search for relationships.
