"Heart's Desire"

    Because February is the month of love, I felt it would be fun to post a caper plant, nicknamed "Desire" for this month's message.  As we approach the Lord with the desires of our hearts, He does hear and answer our prayers. 
    Prayers aren't always answered in the way we want, but we can know that He hears us.  This plant grows wild all over the Holy Land.  It even grows on walls and among rocks!  But the lovely white flowers with vivid magenta stems and stamens are show-stoppers.  The pure, white flower is representative of a pure heart.  The royal purple stem and stamens remind us of our royal heritage as sons and daughters of God.  Truly, this flower expresses love (Ecclesiastes 12:5).
