People tend to think it is "lucky"; rightly so, after reading some facts about the clover. I found it to be very interesting. The 4 leaves actually stand for "faith", "hope", "love", and "luck". So, why did the focus stay on the "luck" leaf, why not any one of the others.....well, I don't know, but, Christians should not live by "luck"; we should all have "faith". Rarely, if ever, do I wish someone "luck". I always try to encourage them with "it will turn out the way the Lord has planned". Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that "He knows the plans He has for us"........and great plans they are, IF we follow Him!
So, back to the 4-leaf clover.......The Shamrock, which has 3 leaves, actually does represent the Trinity:
1 leaf = The Father
1 leaf = The Son
1 leaf = The Holy Spirit
When the 4th leaf appears, it symbolizes = God's Grace, to which some added "luck"
If it will help, I will collect as many 4 leaf clovers as I can find, because I want ALL of Him.........But, we all know, it's not in the clover, but when we give our life over to God and trust in the Holy Trinity - we can't go wrong! Things may not always be the way we want them, but trust Him and know things are the way He wants them - for our good, I might add! And, all we have to do is ask, and He is with us! We don't have to carry around a bunch of clovers!
Since "love", in the facts I read, does signify one of the leaves.......I think from now on, when people say, "wish me luck" - I will just respond with "God's Love to ya'", because if we also label each leaf, as stated above, that clover is filled with LOVE surrounding you and me! And, God's Word does tell us, "God IS love".
Here's wishing you the presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.......... And, may God's Love be with you, always!
