I like the daily cartoons in our local paper: Baby Blues, Garfield, Dilbert, Zits, etc.
Sometimes they do a “What she says, what he hears” kind of thing.
Here is a twist, following the previous post “Sticks and stones…”
What we say/what they feel
What we say:
“This little light of mine; I’m gonna’ let it shine.”
What they feel:
A club, a sword, an arrow.
When we choose to live in our private worlds by our words, we become blind to God and his purpose. In these self-designed worlds, God’s words lose their meaning, value and purpose.
We become religious people with no true sense of God.
By the way, I haven’t had someone club me or stab me recently that I am aware of, but this was my greatest obstacle through professing Christians when I was still a pastor.
