Get Off The Fence

Good morning family. Thankful as always for Sundays. I know that every day is a blessing and we should walk in His word but Sundays can be the most fulfilling and reflective. Mostly because a lot of us don't hear "a word" until Sunday. Gotta do better. Have you ever lost something or someone and knew it was your fault? Maybe a relationship you sabotaged or a possession you didn't take care of? There are a lot of us who loose people and things because we place little value or no value on or in them. Some are absent either physically or emotionally when their children are growing up. As a result, the child doesn't acknowledge them when they become an adult. Some were blessed with a good man or a good woman but because they recognized the blessing to late, they're now alone. Many of us have lost homes, cars, jobs and valuables because we wanted to upgrade to something we couldn't afford or we simply didn't take care of what we had. My eyes filled with tears as I watched a movie yesterday. A man who'd had a beautiful wife and a wonderful son wouldn't settle in with his family. His spirit wasn't ready to do so until another man stepped in and began to appreciate the beauty of his family. What is this "thing" inside of us that keeps us from doing the right thing until we're forced to? What is it that keeps us from walking that straight line until we're forced to? I think most of us know what we should be doing but we allow our minds to trick us into believing we have more time, that we can beat the odds, that we can straddle the fence just a little while longer. I don't know about you but straddling the fence makes me tired, straddling the fence has caused me to miss out on family life, straddling the fence has caused heartache and pain, straddling the fence has affected me financially and most importantly straddling the fence has kept me from doing/living as God would have me live. This morning I pray that each of us take a long look at our lives, think about those things we're still on the fence about, what needs to change? We won't always make the right decisions or choices but when we let God lead, our way is so much clearer. TeamGetOffTheFence. Bblessedloveyou. Jude 1:20-25, Hosea 14:9
