My children, you are like a rose garden in full bloom, but how healthy your blooms are depends on how well kept you have kept yourself.

If you ignored the bugs eating at your leaves then you are full of holes and not as healthy as you should be. If you ignored the creatures living among your buds then your fragrance is not as strong as it should be. If you have not been drinking in the living water then you are brittle and dry and will fall apart before you are able to be given to another in love. The list can go on and on.

If you are short in leaves then your thorns are much more accessible to hurt those around you that try to get close. They have not where that they can safely connect with you.

How deep your roots are in the soil of My Word will show how strong you are when the winds of the adversary comes to try to remove you from My garden.

So I ask you how full and beautiful is your bloom in My garden?

It is time to allow Me, the gardener to tend to you as My rose and bring you back to life, beauty, and health so that you can be that shining red rose of love giving out of My love to all those who come near to see Me in You. And the only time they will ever be pricked by the thorns is when they mishandle you as My beloved anointed ones.

I am walking in My gardens and it is up to you whether or not you will allow Me to tend you or remain in the state that you are in.

The pruning can be painful. I may even have to cut you down and allow you to regrow, but that is part of the process. When you grow back you will bush out and bloom far more than you are now, so what do you have to lose.

I am ready to start the process and how you are tended to is up to how much you become pliable in My hands and receptive to My tender loving care, the food and nutriment that I bring you, and the life that I shine upon you.
