THE BLESSING OF THORNS
"My God, I have never thanked You for my thorns.
I have thanked You a thousand times for my roses,
but never once for my thorns.
Teach me the glory of the cross I bear;
teach me the value of my thorns.
Show me that I have climbed
closer to You along the path of pain.
Show me that, through my tears,
the colors of Your rainbow look much more brilliant."
Praise Him for your roses; thank Him for your thorns!
