Inspired by the Parable of the Sower
(Matthew 13:1-23)
A lovelit flower maiden sprinkled the prayed-over flowers from her blessing basket down the aisle for a happy, hopeful bride. These were no ordinary flowers; they were anointed with powerful blessings from true Love. Depending on the real condition of the Bride’s heart, the prayer blessings could take root and grow within her, her groom, and any children they had, transforming them into Love’s most beautiful form. A bride is the heart and the groom is the head of a family.
If the Bride’s heart wasn’t prepared, the flowers could turn into ordinary bird seed the very next day. For the blind but open heart, there were light, white flowers that would serve to illuminate the darkness of a heart unaware with wisdom and for respect. It is important to honor a husband and the Lord and this does not always happen by feelings. The vibrant purple flowers, held as if by magic, were for the fruit of faithfulness that would work endurance when trouble twisted its way into time. Without this blessing, many brides stumble and sometimes fall into a more difficult walk. The red flowers were the prettiest, perhaps for what they did. Lifting gratitude over vanity in the heart, they seeded within her satisfaction and happiness that money could not buy. For contentment with godliness is great gain according to 1 Tim. 6:6.
(Matthew 13:1-23)
