you know why they are there? In nature, the purpose of thorns, spines, and prickles is often to protect plants from would be predators. Just like the admirer of flowers, we never understand the purpose of the thorns(obstacles) placed in our lives. You never know what Allah is protecting you from. Alas, this life is nothing but a flowerbed adorned with roses and thorns. Pick your roses carefully and don’t be overly skeptical about the thorns. Your heart might bleed today but tomorrow, there will be a new flowerbed waiting for you...♥️
