This has been a different kind of week for me... A week of discovering limits and boundaries, a week of discovering that everybody has limits, each person has drawn a line on how close, how involved, or how invested they will be. These lines are usually drawn from a negative life experience, where an inward decision was made, "I'll never be caught off guard again", "I will not be hurt again", "I'm only going this far from now on", "I won't be the victim again, I'll be the the one in control". Accepting these discovered limits found in ourselves and in others are another story...being okay with knowing this will only go this far, to this degree, to this amount, to this level, can be frustrating if you are anything like me. (A person who thinks real life should contain some movie moments where everything falls in place perfectly, just the way you pictured it, with background music) laugh...
So the question is? Do you just give up or chill out, once you run into these walls, boundaries, and carefully drawn limits in others? Maybe the answer is SOMETIMES, that is the best thing to do. But I believe there is also another answer...One that requires leaping over walls, scaling fences, and jumping lines of limitations while risking defensive security measures, to find someone in their well built fortress and dare them to come out and play, live, explore, discover, expand their limits, and trust that there is more to God and Life than what has been experienced by them. This won't always end successfully but when it does, it's priceless!!!
So continue to pursue Love and keep on sowing in others, because you never know what might CROP up next, and what mighty works will be done when another person is drawn out of their limits! Let us, at times, leave the comfort of the boat and STEP OUT ON THE WATER. You may not make movie moments, but you will definitely make BIBLE MOMENTS!
Ecclesiastes 11:4
If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.
Ecclesiastes 11:6
Be sure to stay busy and plant a variety of crops, for you never know which will grow––perhaps they all will.
