Our pastor had a fabulous message yesterday. It was about bridges and fences. He reminded us of friendships that may have ended due to a misunderstanding. And how important it is to build bridges to recreate that relationship. I know in my own life there have been times when someone has hurt my feelings. And in my "human-ness" (is that a word), it is easier to build a fence than a bridge to "reconnect" with each other. It is often easier to protect ourselves behind a fence, rather than expose our hearts by offering a bridge. I wonder how many times though when we attempt to build a bridge and learn that person on the other side has erected a very high, impenetrable fence. What to do now? That's when you need to hand your hammer and nails over to the Carpenter. You know the One. Proverbs 6:3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend.
In "A Touch of Your Presence" are words that would inspire, encourage and strengthen one's soul when faced with challenges and difficulties and to know the awesomeness of God's power.
