Do you see the Lilly or the Thorns?
Relationships are built according to what we see. I read a devotion about the marriage relationship. The main verse was Solomon 2:2 “As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.” In this devotion it was pointed out that there was one lily and many thorns, seen in the eyes of the…
