I see the wall. It is so much taller than I am that I can hardly see above it without stretching on my tip toes. I can see that on the other side are things that I want to touch and feel. There are things of which I want to be included. But how do I get there? How do I reach the other side of the wall? What are my options? I can see at eye level that there is a crack. It's a small crack and doesn't seem to be of any major concern, although, as I look more intently, I can see that it progressively spreads larger and larger. My fear is that the wall will crack to the point that it begins to crumble. Graffiti lines the wall. There are words of Praise and encouragement and also words of defeat, despair and distress. Interestingly enough, all of the words that represent the negativity are the ones that make the crack larger and wider. The words of positive are in the smaller space on the wall yet they are what is keeping that part of the wall smooth and in tact. I pray that God will let the wall of my life be formed by the narrow section of positiveness. I pray that the negatives would be sucked up by the crack as they fall into the abyss of ungodliness. I want my life to be represented by the smoothness of the positive area so the positives will be as rungs on a ladder enabling me to climb over the top to find Peace!
