We, the Bouquet

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world." 

John 17: 24

So many follow what they are told, standing tall and proud, like sunflowers, all in the same direction.

But, only few are chosen and turned, not to follow their own desires but to live, carried in the hand of the Giver of Gifts.

We are those bright blooms, chosen and made ready from the God of Heaven, King of creation-- as a love gift for His Son, who gave Himself first.

Now full circle, as the sun, the Giver is for the given.
