"Oh, my darling is like a lily among thorns," spoke Solomon to his bride one night. What a powerful phrase to use for a solid description of a woman. Among all of the thorns and evil women of the world, his bride was the flower, the beautiful lily.
As women of God, if that's who you choose to be as you live in this world, we are to stand out among every thorn and not wilt under the pressures of evil and temptation. We are to sacrifice a pure and beautiful life at the feet of our Father each night as we rest our heads on our pillows. A life full of service and fulfilled responsibility to keep our eyes open and up to the heavens. We gain strength despite the thorns that bring us down, the thorns that try so hard to ruin the beauty of the flower we are becoming. As God is making us beautiful, the world wants to hold us back. Satan wants anything but our success.
To be a lily among thorns in the world we live in is a hard responsibility. Just don't be afraid to stand out, because we were meant for so much more than the life of a thorn.
Beautiful! I love this post. :)
