Less Words Wednesday: The Wall

My daughter was so impressed with my sand word “love” that she tried to protect it from the incoming tide with a sand wall.

Watching her perform such a hopeless act got me to thinking. How many of us are wandering around with useless walls around our “love”.

Walls formed by hurt, neglect, abuse. Walls we thought we formed for good purpose. For the purpose of never being hurt again.

But, what are our walls really doing, they are not keeping out hurt, there keeping out love, love from our children, love from our spouse, love from our friends.

Worse than keeping out love they are denying others one of the greatest gifts we can offer them OUR LOVE.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I Corinthians 13:1 NIV
