"Better a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish King who will be admonished no more"
Ecclesiastes 4:13.

"Like a Lilly among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the son. I sat down in his shade with great delights, and hi fruit was so sweet to my taste"
Songs of Solomon:2-3.

"Behold you are fair, mylove!Behold, you are fair! You have dove's eyes "
Songs of Solomon1:15

I wrote this post to encourage a Young Christian men like I myself to find a Young and fair Christian women and to support them with a gift of White Rose. If you knew a woman who is faithful but neglected, then, I guess The White Rose is the perfect gift. Andin the rest… before we begin. Let's first understand the meaning of "The White Rose". I hope by the end, when you are done reading it, you'll get ideas and thoughts on how to communicate with them, who is a faithful Christian, by giving "The White Rose" to her.

The meaning of Shimmering White Rose is not very difficult to get it, if you go and look by their appearance. The color "White" has always been synonymous with Purity and Virtue. And so, sincerity, Purity, Chastity are some of the obvious meaning of The White Rose. When you need to convinced that your affection are straight from your Heart and are as pure as virgin snow, use a White Rose. But still, then there are lots and more hiddenin a White Rosethan meets the eyes. The color White itself is a symbols of Innocence, of a world which is unspoiled and untainted. It glorifies a love that is unaware of the temptation of the flesh and resides only in the soul of oneself .

The simplest and the most commonmeaning of The White Rose is its Simplicity and Pristine Purity. There are no felling of haters and being hated. There is no felling to be deceived or being deceived to other person. The White Rose is innocence which reminds me to one of my best quote's which says "What you do not like it for your self does not like it for me as well" that is what the White Rose is meant to be when you give to her. I'm pure, innocence, simple and truthful o you must also be what I'm because the Rose in your hand is White in Color.

And White Rose reflects the purity, simplicity, sincerity, and faithfulness. As opposed to The Red Rose, which speaks of passionate promise affection towards each other? It has also come to mean loyalty and faith which can be strongly link to purity. In true Love faithfulness and loyalty are implicit despite of these distance or time .For these symbol, White Rose are a perfect gift to a beloved who is far away, as they will display not only their Love but also faithfulness. White Rose Are also a perfect gift to the long lost friends for a similar reason. It is in fact a wondrous way to show your Love for a dear friend.

Recently I attended a Wedding ceremony in my locality. In fact, at times I'm so observant, when I look around the people, the flower's boy and girl, the sweet two couple standing in-front of the Preacher. A thought come up into my mind, why did the bride dress in pure white gown and also with a bunch of White flowers on her hand. I keep on thinking for an hour and hours WHY…..? And why that particularly in White color and other color say like red, green, blue or any other of such color.

All of my thought is submerged into these White gown and White flower. I have totally forgotten that I'm in a marriage ceremony witnessing the two Young Couple been bless by the Preacher. Well it did not take me long to come up with a definite conclusion that these dresses and flower are known as the Bridal dresses and flower. In these sense they are a representation of unity as one body,

"Therefore men shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become on flesh"

It is also a representation of virtue and pureness of a new bond of Love a symbol of pure and Young Love which further strengthens and makes an ideal for marriage. For a Christian White represent that a person is still clean and not getting involved into any kind of the Worldly Human desired and pleasure. Bride carries a bouquet of White Rose during their marriage ceremony to indicate their purity, virginity, and innocence. That being said White Rose also state the reputation of women in society that they are clean and untainted.

As I keep on writing these posts my thought and knowledge widen on and on. The tradition of carrying a bouquet of White Rose by the Bride was started in 1840 at the wedding of Queen Victoria . During White Rose was very common and abundantly uses throughout the ceremony. Since then, the tradition and company was formed and passes on through generation. In the olden days giving a White Rose as a gift is very strong and precious gift. It is not fleeting passion or romance, which is too often what the Red Rose conveys. The White is strong and consistence Love, which is pure, faithful and sacrificial. Not many flowers have such meaning to their name.

One of the sweetest things about The White Rose as a gift to good women is that you don't have to worry about being rejected by her. You're not trying to start a relationship right away nor are you asking or saying that "I LOVE YOU". These is in fact the first part for being a Young Christian men picking up a Young Christian women who is fair, good, smart, beautiful and God fearing,the women who has the best developed Christian worldview.

The White Rose is not the Red Rose which conveys you're passionatepromise yet you gave it to her to support her in her every effort or work that she does. But please don't pick the one that you like. Don't pick your friends approved. But instead pick the one who serve God Self-sacrificially,the one who put God FISRT and her own Happiness SECOND.

Thus far, the Lord is so good and gracious to each of us. I have Faith that He will still be even in the day's to come despite of our weakness, depth and trespasses. I belief that God is speaking to each of us in one way or the other way, in the right place at the right time by using his different ways of speaking to us, to change our Heart, Life and attitudes towards one another. I have faith in you that you'll go for The White Rose in these coming days instead of The Red Rose. And find a Young Beautiful Christian Women who is GOD FEARING women, who put GOD on Her FIRST place and her own Happiness SECOND.

May God helps us to bear the fruit that other may see Jesus in us.
