Walls

Why do people live behind walls?

God designed us to be people of RELATIONSHIPS. That means we should interact with each other - caring enough to pick up a phone just to visit for a few minutes or maybe leave a message on the machine that says, "Hey, I care about you. We haven't seen each other in quite awhile, we need to do coffee, lunch, something. Let's get together."

How many times have you stared at someone's casket and wished you could have some time to tell that person how much you care about them? When did you last call someone just for the heck of it?

Walls keep us from doing that. We may have spent a long time building them, but they come down a lot easier if we have a desire to step out of the rubble and into the place of relationship God wants us to live in. I'm continually working on tearing mine down. How about you?
