Thoughts

The path I want to walk is often in the exact opposite direction of the path I choose to walk. Maybe it is symptomatic of my state of heart. It is not for man to determine his steps… merely his direction. I pray for detours, not dead ends.

Never hold a knife, when you should be holding a lamp. Encouragement, love, understanding and forgiveness soften harder hearts than mine, where harsh words and criticism merely slice flesh to the bone. To build is a greater accomplishment than to destroy.
