The Thorn & The Rose
God allowed me to go thru that experience so i would be able to appreciate, so much more, what He has now put into my life - a woman in who's heart there is no guile!
Before - i had sexy, infatuation and lust.
Now - i have honesty, trust and Love.
The Thorn is Narcissistic and obsessed about her looks. She's always needing others to compliment her and give her attention. She's selfish and inconsiderate.
The Rose is what she is and doesn't have to be concerned with her looks. She knows what she is and what she has. She's selfless and caring and unassuming.
The Thorn hides her hardness & hurtful ways behind the beauty of the rose. She's deceptive and deceitful.
The Rose hides nothing. She's completely up front about everything. She has nothing to hide and no reason to deceive.
A Thorn pricks and punctures the skin. She's never comfortable to be with. At first she brings happiness, as you only see the rose, but when you try to grab & possess her she brings only pain and hurt.
The Rose is soft and sweet and smells so good. She's a pleasure to be with....soothing and even medicinal. When you touch her she reacts only with sincere love & affection. She exudes sweetness!
The Thorn only says, "Touch me and i might hurt you".
But the rose always says, "Feel my softness, and experience my sweet fragrance and gentle touch".
Before i was always in doubt, always feeling insecure about the relationship. There was always a hole in my heart and worry in my mind 😞
Now i'm so secure and contented! Feeling safe and warm & cozy - like a kitten sleeping in the lap of an old woman by a fireplace 😊
God had me sacrifice the earthly for the Heavenly.
He made me see that the physical was temporal and fleeting.
Now i have something of real worth and lasting.
Thank God for the Rose! 🌹
