Cacti? Really?

Yeah, really! I was trying to find a picture that showed the stark contrast between genuine love and what the world can sometimes offer. The flower symbolizes not only love but a genuine, sincere, true, honest, and unmannered love. Something that seems out of place in the world we live in. This love is most definitely shown to us by what Christ did for us on the cross! He was God's perfect example of genuine love. A love that no one can understand or fully wrap their minds around. It just doesn't make sense! So much of the love in this world is merit-based and can sometimes feel like a cactus! Prickly and yucky...not something you would want to hug! (Unless you like hugging cacti i guess?) I pray that we would be people, God following people that only show love that is genuine, not fake, to everyone we see....
