In a spiritual world of quick fixes and vague emotion, is it crazy to believe there is still a place for insights based on simple, basic, theological understanding. I believe it is worth exploring.

Old Erich Proverb - Walls
We work hard to build walls between us and other people, but God is the great Wall-Breaker.
Breaking down walls can be hard work. I am afraid that sometimes people feel it is easier just to let them stand. I am convinced this is a mistake, but as I have found out, sometimes to my cost, it can be hard to convince people of that.
I would agree with that wish. Unfortunately, I think there are a lot of people who feel that walls keep them safe. Until that attitude changes it is hard to go forward.
I have had to work hard to break the relationship walls in my life. Have not had much reciprocation though.

DeleteI do wish that God would break down more walls. I know that it is possible but this kind of activity seems rare.
