A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in
the garden one day and feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him
to do, he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older preacher walked
up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to
open it without tearing off any petals.
The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was
trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his
wanting to know the WILL OF GOD for his life and for his ministry. Because
of his high respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to TRY to unfold
the rose, while keeping every petal intact...It wasn't long before he
realized how impossible it was to do so.
Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud while
keeping it intact, the older preacher began to recite the following
poem...
