Lily of The Valley

       I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys - Song of Solomon 2:1.

                  Our Christ is the lily of the valley. Like how a lily is sweet and fragrant flower, Christ offered Himself as a sweet-smelling aroma for us. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma - Ephesians 5:2. A lily is pure and it exceeds all flowers in whiteness. Likewise our God is pure and holy. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him - 2 Corinthians 5:21.

                  Like how the lily flower is beautiful, Jesus is so beautiful and there is no flaw in Him. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these - Mathew 6:28,29. You are all fair, my love, And there is no spot in you - Song of Solomon 4:7. He is the fairest of ten thousand, the bright and morning star.

                 Our God is the perfection of beauty and His glory is infinite. Though lily is the tallest flower, it bows down its head. Christ is higher than kings, princes, heavens and angels yet He is humble and lowly in heart. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart - Mathew 11:29. May we also bloom like a lily among the thorns. Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters - Song of Solomon 2:2.                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the lily of the valley. May we also bloom like a lily among thorns. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
