This Thursday at 7 PM
Some face a desert of loneliness, longing to share their life with someone, but finding themselves waiting and wondering if the right person will ever come along.
Others walk through a desert of disappointment. They may have deeply trusted someone, only to be hurt in the end. Broken relationships and painful memories can leave a person feeling cautious and emotionally drained.
There is also the desert of frustration, where someone repeatedly strives to build a meaningful relationship but continually encounters problems or misunderstandings. After several attempts, they may begin to feel that nothing will ever change.
Even couples who are married can experience a desert season. A relationship that once felt warm and exciting can gradually become distant, communication becomes difficult, small problems grow larger, and the connection that once existed begins to fade.
In these situations, a significant obstacle often arises: the fear of believing again. People may feel that hoping for something better will only lead to more pain. As a result, some stop trusting not only others but also God’s promises for their lives. Past frustrations can make it challenging to believe that something new and better is possible.
However, did you know that in some parts of the world, once rain finally falls in the desert, seeds hidden beneath the sand begin to grow? Small plants push through the soil, and flowers bloom where there was once only dust. The same land that looked barren suddenly becomes vibrant with color and life.
A promise found in the Book of Isaiah 35:1–2 states:
The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice…
The same land that once looked empty can suddenly bloom. What appeared hopeless can transform into a place of joy and celebration, demonstrating that God has the power to completely change a person’s reality.
For this transformation to occur, something essential is needed: faith. Faith is not merely a feeling that arises during a moment of prayer; it is a decision. It involves choosing to believe in God’s Word and allowing His promises to guide your life.
God does not lie, nor does He change. When a person decides to trust what He has said, they open the door for Him to act in their life. Believing in God’s promises means choosing not to live solely by what we see or feel in the moment. Instead, we decide to trust what God has already spoken in His Word.
With this in mind, we are excited to announce a special purpose inspired by the Book of Isaiah 35: The Power of a Rose in God’s Hands, beginning on Thursday, March 12th, at 7 PM during the Love Therapy, and we warmly invite you to join us.
Please bring a rose to the meeting as a symbol of the promise that even a desert can bloom.
During the meeting, the rose will be blessed, and you will take it home as a reminder of your faith in the transformation of your love life. The following week, you will return the rose, which will be burned to signify the end of an old cycle and the beginning of a new story.
After all, God does not require anything extraordinary to perform a change. When a person chooses to believe, much like the seeds hidden beneath the sand waiting for rain, a new story can begin to take form.
The Love Therapy meetings occur every Thursday at 7 PM at select locations of The Universal Church. Please call 1-888-332-4141 or visit The Universal Church for more information. Attendance is free and all are welcome. Come as you are.
The Love Therapy meetings from the Temple of Solomon are available on Univer Video.
