Some of us love the sight of flowers but what about the rain showers that help produce the flowers? Why do some people like red flowers, some blue, some yellow and some all or just various colors? Is it because of experiences?

Some might say I like red roses because my husband always gets me red roses for my birthday or special occasions. That must be a good experience for that individual. They see happy moments, it is pleasurable for them to recall and it all came from an experience. The flowers give them an image of past experiences.

Well if I were to tell you that you are healed, why don’t you take that image. We all have had some type of illness, maybe a scratch or bruise and watched it heal. So when I say, you are healed why can’t you take that image the same as the person who sees the roses and it makes them happy, but you see yourself healed?

Some people hear April showers and they think of how they are going to have to wash there car constantly to keep it clean, or maybe clean the floors more often. Some would maybe think of streets washing out, roof leaks, or basements flooding. You can let your mind wander off to where ever you want it to it’s your choice.

If you enjoy flowers and April showers give birth to the May flowers then shouldn’t you be thankful for the rain showers as well?

To hold negative images over things can damage your entire spirit, because one bad image will spill over into something else, your negative thoughts will reproduce into other things or other areas. It’s a part of seed time and harvest because everything produces after its own kind. This will make you wonder, do I like the flowers more than the rain?

Think of the flowers because the rain will pass, you need to see the end result.

Genesis 1:11-12

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed,andthe fruit tree thatyields fruit according to its kind, whose seedisin itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herbthat yields seed according to its kind, and the treethatyields fruit, whose seedisin itself according to its kind. And God saw thatit was good.
