SOMEBODY planted a rosebush near the garden wall. In spite of careful nursing it never bloomed. Again, summer time came and again the owner saw no buds. One day his neighbor on the other side of the wall called to him: “Your rose is blooming in my garden, come over and see it!”
Sure enough, one of the shoots had worked its way through a crack in the wall and was now in full bloom.
If you are discouraged and faint-hearted, perhaps you too will find your roses blooming on the “other side” in God’s presence. Keep, on working in faithfulness to your Master, for the Scripture says “Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.” Gal. 6:9.
