Jesus, Rose of Sharon..

I was so excited to see the Rose of Sharon bush in full bloom. Loaded with flowers! Just once a year for what...a few weeks at most? What a welcome sight.

And these pansies are the darlings of all our flowers this year. I keep pinching off the dead ones and they just keep blooming. Those cute bunnies have destroyed many blooms this year, but what can we do? At least they don't seem to care for pansies....or maybe they leave them alone because they are in ceramic pots up off the ground.

'Jesus, Rock of Ages, let me hide in thee, Jesus, "Rose of Sharon", sweet thou art to me'. hymn...'I Have Found a Resting Place' by Charles Weigle and Gladys Muller.

Dolly said...: I love this Rose of Sharon. It is the kind that I had so many of when I lived in Oklahoma, and I only have one of them now. My others are double blooms, which are pretty, but don't have my heart like the single pinky-purple.; 8:56 PM

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
