Picking out the thorns.......

God has never promised us that life would be a bed of roses...and just think about it, a bed of roses really wouldn't be great, you know, with all the thorns and all.  But God has promised to be right with me every step of the way,  holding my hand and guiding me all the way through life.  That is the most comforting thought that has crossed my mind today.  I don't have to go through life in dispair or wrought with fear.  My Jesus lived and died for me.  He took the thorns and nails for me.  I owe everything to him who has given everything for me.
