Recently I was visiting a friend who has a greenhouse.
As she showed me her flowers, we came to the most beautiful one of all, a golden
chrysanthemum, bursting with blooms. But to my great surprise, it was growing in an old
dented, rusty bucket. I thought to myself, "If this were my plant, I’d put it it
the loveliest container I had!"
My friend changed my mind. "I ran short of pots," she
explained, "and knowing how beautiful this one would be, I thought it wouldn’t
mind starting out in this old pail. It’s just for a little while, till I can put it
out in the garden."
She must have wondered why I laughed so delightedly, but I was
imagining just such a scene in heaven. "Here’s an especially beautifl one,"
God might have said when he came to the soul of the sweet old fisherman. "He
won’t mind starting in this small body." All this happened long ago-and now, in
God’s garden, how tall this lovely soul must stand.
"The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at
the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7b)
