The journey of our lives maybe likened to a rose. More often than not we experience the sting of the thorns than the beauty of the flower. Threading through life is like taking a walk in a thicket of roses. You must be careful not to get hurt. You must stay strong or else trample over the bushes.
The roses of our lives are the experiences of success, prosperity and happiness. While the thorns are the failures, hardships, disappointments and dilemmas we usually encounter as we go through our existence.
We can choose to face life head on with courage and determination. With every fall we have to get up and move on. With each experience of brokenness, we can pick up the fragments to build a better life. We must be strong enough to carry life’s burden and have faith.
