Once upon a time, there was a young man who had a rose seed. He was eager to plant the rose in his backyard garden. A fertilizer and a small shovel have been provided. Rushed, he also prepared a small pot where the rose will grow. Choosing the best pot, and placed the pot in a corner that gets enough sunlight. He hoped that these seeds can grow perfectly.

He splashed the rose seeds every day. Diligently, he took care of the tree. Not to forget, if there is a disturbing grass, immediately disianginya to avoid the lack of food. In a few moments, the bud flowers is start. The petals appear to be starting to break, though the colors do not look perfect yet. This youngster is happy, for his hardwork is starting to pay off. He studied the flower carefully. He looked surprised, because there were also small thorns that covered the stems. He regrets why the sharp spikes appear together with the blossoming of this beautiful flower. Of course, the thorns will disturb the beauty of his roses.

The young man seemed to murmur to himself, "Why is this beautiful flower growing so many sharp thorns? Of course this will made it hard to take care of him later. Every time I cleaned, my hands always hurt. There's always a part of my skin is scratched. Ah this job just makes me sick. I'm not gonna let my hand bleed from these intruder spikes. "

Eventually, this young man seemed reluctant to notice his rose. He began to not care. The rose was never watered again every morning and evening. She let the grass disturb the growth of the rose. The petals that once began to break, now look withered. The leaves that grow in each stalk began to fall one by one. Finally, before it develops perfectly, the flower mingles and withers.


Human soul is just like the previous story. In every soul, there is always a 'rose' embedded. God who entrusted it to us to be cared for. It is God who puts that glory in each of our hearts. Like flowering gardens, indeed within our souls, there are also buds of roses and thorns that will break.

However, many of us are just seeing the "thorns" growing. Many of us just see the bad side of us that will develop. We often deny our own existence. We are often disappointed with ourselves and do not want to accept it. We think that only the things that hurt will grow from us. We refuse to water the "good things that actually exist. And finally, we're disappointed again, we never understand the potential that we have.

Many people do not think, they also actually have a beautiful rose in the soul. Many people do not realize that there is a rose. We are often preoccupied with the thorns of self-weakness and pessimistic masculinity. Someone else sometimes has to show it.

If we can find the beautiful "roses" that grow in that soul, we will be able to ignore the thorns that appear. We will be encouraged to make it break, and continue to grow until tens of new shoots will appear. On each shoot, will bear fruit shoots of happiness, tranquility, peace, which will fill the gardens of our souls. The most beautiful pleasure is when we succeed in showing ourselves about the roses, and ignoring the thorns that appear.

The fragrant fragrance will adorn our days. The aroma of beauty it offers, is like the calm of the water of the lake that calms the hearts of the heart. Let's find the "roses" of tranquility, happiness, peace in our souls. Maybe, yes, maybe, we will also encounter thorns and thorns, but let's not make us despair. Perhaps, our hands will be scratched and hurt, but do not make us sad.

Let the beautiful roses blossom in your heart. Let his petals radiate his glorious light. Let the stalks hold on to your hopes and dreams. Let the pistils it contains into the seeds and seeds of new happiness for you. Spread the shoots to everyone we meet, and let them also discover the beauty of other roses in their souls. Speak the greetings, that we may reap the seeds of the love roses to every one, and cultivate them in the gardens of our hearts.
