are {you} your biggest obstacle?

"I think that one of the biggest obstacles people face
when trying to forgive themselves
resides in the opinions of others.

If you accept grace
and begin to learn what it is to be free,
what will the haters think?

How will the people you hurt feel?

What will the religious and pharisaical say?

Would it be easier to forgive yourself
if you could move some place
where nobody knew you?

If so, then you know that
you are playing to public opinion
and not living in faith.

There has to be a point
where people stop worrying
about what other people think."

"A gentle response defuses anger,
but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire...
Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise;
fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.
Kind words heal and help;
cutting words wound and maim."
~Proverbs 15:1,3,4
