The Garden of My Life - Navarathi, His Bride, FSMA Karumathur

I have a lovely garden which is filled with varieties of beautiful flowers so colourful and attractive.  Their petals and stems are soft and easy to hold it.  Among the flowers I admire the beautiful Rose flower though it has so many thorns.  I love and have it in my hands as ever my heart and enjoy it.

Yes, this is what I can say about my life.  I have met so many people who are really so good, attractive and benevolent to me.  It is easy to have someone who loves us so dearly but difficult to love the one who do not love us.  So also there are so many challenges.  Due to that I am not giving up anything that I have.

I may have many things which are really dear to me as a human being.  Yet I admire the Rose flower, the spouse of mine to which I have fallen in love though thorny yet beautiful.  Eventhough it challenges me to leave my own village, home, dear ones, name and fame, own will for the sake of loving every one.  I feel at times every one belongs to me but none.

Many may love me and many may hurt me.  Yet my heart has not said ‘NO’ to the Rose flower because the throns are not at all a matter for me.  Though at times it hurts, it never pains me because the love is so powerful that it removes all my pains.  It gives me joy and sense of belongingness.  Yes, the attractive Rose is none other than JESUS whose heart is merciful, benevolent, tender and filled with love like Rose petals.  Though He allows me to face all the challenges of life, yet I love my beautiful Rose i.e. JESUS because in the garden of my life He is my Bridegroom.  I love Him so much that I completely surrender myself and life and serve Him as long as I live like a Bride; Because He has given up His precious life for me on the cross in Calvary.

Convinced of His love,
