I think it's for a girl [hopefully his wife. ;) ]. It could go either way, but this line doesn't make me think of God at all. "you’re the flower and the thorn" Marriage isn't just "lalala yay!" all the time. A spouse is both the best and worst at times. Marriage is loving them when they're the flower, and when they're the thorn.

that's my thought on it.
