Lily Among Thorns

Like a lily among thorns, so is my beloved among young women..

Songs of Solomon 2:2

Have you ever seen a lily in all its splendor?, Oh how beautiful it is to behold and how delicate. And have you seen a bush of thorns, surely the sight of its alone is frightening…

We live in a day and age where is it extremely difficult to be different, delicate and special. Everyone have an expectation of how people should be especially for young women. The standards, demands and trends to follow can be overwhelming sometimes but I dare to tell you its okay to stand out. Its okay to be different , to pave your own way and make God your standard because He calls you His own. Yes you are His and not the world’s, so don’t let it dictate for you how you should act, think or feel. God calls you a beautiful lily despite the thorns and that is who you are!

Be yourself, be you , be bold, be elegant and be beautiful even in this world of untold ugliness. You may be pierced and squeezed just like a lily growing in the valley among thorns but let that bring the beauty and splendor in you and bloom. My beloved, just SHINE….
