GOD IS LOVE
Riches take wings,
comforts vanish,
hope withers away,
but love stays with us.
Love is God.

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF
DON’T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” — Matthew 21:42
One day, there was a little girl who planted a rose plant. She watered it daily until a little bud appeared.
She was so happy! The little red bud had so much promise, and she wondered when the bud would blossom into a rose. But upon closer examination, the little girl saw that the rose plant was growing thorns — sharp, ugly, prickly thorns. She liked the rose but she hated the thorns. So she decided not to water the plant anymore. And the rose bud never bloomed because the plant died.
I thank God that He isn’t like that little girl.
There’s a beautiful rose within you. It’s just covered with thorns. But despite those thorns, God knows better. It’s part of who you are.
And with patience, He will water you — until that rose blossoms. And then He will get the rose and cut the thorns — and put it in a vase — for all the world to see your beauty.
Right now, you may feel as though nothing is happening in your life, that none of your dreams are coming true.
Don’t give up, because God doesn’t give up on you.

ATTITUDE OF MIND
The greatest discovery of my generation,
is that human being can alter his circumstances in life
by altering his attitude of mind ♥
