Life is not a bed of roses alone
Because roses are embedded with thorns.
It takes a lot of work and effort
To produce the beauty of that dozen in the vase.
Learning to enjoy the mountains,
You must experience the valleys.
Highs and lows, life moves up and down,
The experience is where life is lived.
As with breathing, you must inhale, exhale,
Oxygen in, dispel the refuse
Day and Night, Hot and Cold
Up and down… That’s the life you must balance.
You cannot control the extremes
But you can control your response
When you’d rather head up, but life is down.
Be in control, or life will let you down.
Romans 8:26-30 NKJV
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.
For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Now He who searches the hearts
knows what the mind of the Spirit is,
because He makes intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
And we know that all things work together for good
to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose.
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined
to be conformed to the image of His Son,
that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom He predestined,
these He also called;
whom He called,
these He also justified;
and whom He justified,
these He also glorified.
