Dale Galloway once wrote, "A rose only becomes beautiful and blesses others when it opens up and blooms. Its greatest tragedy is to stay in a tight-closed bud, never fulfilling its potential."I don't know if I can be called a rose, but i do know that I have been and I now challenge myself to open to bloom. I was closed so tight that it caused pain to the person I love, and that closed-bud selfishness upset the entire garden that I thought and tried to be a beautiful part of.
Lord, let the nurturing continue. Let your grace and love shine upon the one and those I hurt. Let your strength and encouragement shower me. Let it create a rainbow.
