Walls

     Trust is a major issue with most people (me included.) Some trust more easily than others. The less we trust someone, the more walls we put up.

     In returning to the purpose of this blog, let me pose this question. What would it look like if our walls were visible constructs? I have to admit that I might, at times, look like a walking mountain. I have been burned too many times in the past.

     The problem is that those walls we put up make it hard for people to get to know us. Thanks to my walls, most people can expect common courtesy and small talk. If you've burned me, it's even harder to reach me.

      What we need is a reset button. I think that is what forgiveness is supposed to achieve. If someone hurts you, forgive them and start over. I know, it's easier said than done. Just remember, we rebelled against God and he made the ultimate sacrifice to help us find forgiveness.
