Walls

They have two purposes. One: keeps the unwanted out. (The other though is many times overlooked.) Two: keeps the needed from coming in. So why do we put up walls? Well often times we put up these walls as a defense mechanism, to aid us. To have control. Maybe there are things going on around us and we put a wall up because we just don't want to deal with it. Maybe our lives are a complete mess and putting up a wall will keep people from noticing what's really going on inside. Careful. Because guess what, walls usually come with a ceiling... Now you're all caged in, trapped. Just how you wanted to be. Not. What you wanted was control. Control over what you wanted coming in, over what you wanted to deal with, over what you wanted people to see. Control over your life. Turns out you just created your very own little prison. Very ideal. Not exactly. Truth is we need to brings those walls down, because in addition to being caged, you're being restricted, impeded, kept from growing... from being free. Hand over the control of your life to God, who's perfectly apt for the job. Let's just put it this way, He won't make you a prisoner, Mr/Miss IGotThis. He can handle it.
