Publisher's Synopsis
Garden of Roses is Jesus! What a lovely thought! Back in 1942, Dr. Charles Weigle, the writer of the well-known song "No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus," wrote a song by this title. Dr. Weigle told the story of while preaching a revival meeting in California, he walked through a rose garden on his way to church one evening. As he entered the building people began to comment that he smelled like roses. Dr. Weigle realized that as he passed through the garden his clothing had picked up the scent of the roses and that scent lingered with him. This thought led him to write this beautiful song about how we can take on the fragrance of the Lord when we spend time in His presence. One verse of the song reads, "We may bring from the Garden of Roses sweetest fragrance from blossoms of love, from the presence of Jesus our Saviour, from the heart of the Father above." These devotional lessons from The Song of Solomon are built on the idea of taking on the fragrance if our Lord, and will emphasize the importance of spending time in communion with Him, not just occasionally, but every day. Have you communed with your Lord today? Is He a Garden of Roses to you?
