I work with people and raise roses. Both fascinate me. And both are so similar.

Roses require tremendous attention. They must be cared for, talked to, fed and watered regularly, and protected from foreign matter that would harm. All of which must be done with extreme care.

You never hold a rose too tightly or its thorns will give painful notice of your indiscretion. You move about rose bushes with careful caution lest they snag you. They demand room to grow and fulfill their purpose in life.

And each rose bush has its own nature. You can perform all the proper acts of care and love, but the rose will be what its inward nature (its God-purpose) determines: a red rose will be a red rose; a yellow rose, a yellow rose. You have absolutely no control over its nature (color).
