👉 A certain man planted a
rose and watered it faithfully, and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw
the bud that would soon blossom and also the thorns. And he thought, "How
can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?"
👉 Saddened by this thought,
he neglected to water the rose, and before it was ready to bloom, it died.
So
it is with many people. Within every soul, there is a rose. every one has thorns
in the form of weaknesses and inabilities.
The
God-like qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the thorns of our faults.
👉 Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the
defects.
We
despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us and so many
people also judge us according to our weaknesses and they usually ask...can
anything good come from him/her?
👉 We concentrate on the bad
in us and neglect to water the good within us, and eventually, it dies.
We
never realize our potential. Some people do not see the rose within themselves;
someone else must show it to them.
👉 One of the greatest gifts
a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose
within others.
This
is the characteristic of love, to look at a person, and knowing his faults,
recognize the nobility in his soul, and help him or her realize that he or she
can overcome his faults.
👉 If we show him/her the
rose and they will conquer the thorns. Then they will blossom, blooming forth
thirty, sixty, a hundred fold as it is given to them.
Our
duty in this world is to help others by showing them their roses and not their
thorns. It's useless seeing someone in wrong and go speaking and gossiping
about it instead of correcting the person to help him or her grow!
Some
people only judge people's weaknesses instead of correcting them. They forget
that they are human and have weaknesses too. If we live to help one
another, Only then can we achieve the love we should feel for each other; only
then can we bloom in our own garden.
Be
blessed and highly favoured.
Be
Positive Enjoy Life 💖
