A Picture

Double Delight Rose

Hi my love,

I had posted this picture up on Facebook with this quote

This is a picture I took today of something that reminds me of you. 

A beautiful rose that stands out amongst the rest.

The one and only. 

There were plenty of other flowers, pretty, ugly, bright and dull. 

But there was only one that captured my heart.

And after that day, and the next few days,

Boy I was pestered by a thought,

Whether it'd be a thought planted by God ?

Maybe, maybe not, I am not sure.

Whats the difference

Stepping on that rose vs Scolding your loved one? 

Nothing

And I realised another thing.

Something that I should have understood.

I ve been taught countless times about this verse.

"The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control"- Galations 5:22

But I've been praying it the wrong way.

"Lord, give me love, joy, patience, kindness, 

goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control."

They are fruits, fruits don't magically appear, they need to be grown! DUH

Thanks for sharing that sermon with me my love.
