A devout friend of mine just recently gave me four stunning roses for my birthday. Have you ever stood still, looked into the head of a rose, and marveled at its beauty? Days before, such beautiful rose was small tight bud. Who could imagine that within a few days this would become a beauty so large it seemed impossible that it ever fit into that bud? What's more the rose can overwhelm with the pleasure of its exquisite fragrance.
Becoming a Christian is like this. Without Christ, we are limited and small, but once we have been united with Christ, we unfold and expand like that rose. In Christ, we can become full and rich in compassion, spreading the fragrance of love.
