To Bind and Loose....

There is a confusion that people have about who they are and who they want to be. The "gap" between those two things creates internal friction. That friction, then bubbles up to the surface, and becomes external friction.

The irony/paradox/sadness is that this friction creates a larger "gap" than the original "gap". I think we need to be patient with people (and ourselves) and help those that will listen see who they are, while helping them achieve who they want to be.

I read Ephesians and realize that "gap" doesn't need to be so detrimental to our soul. The "gap" isn't necessarily a bad thing. The difference creates movement and helps us fight the struggles we have at time with apathy. Inertia can be bad.

So.... observe the "gap" between who you are and who you want to be.... be honest that it exists.... be honest about yourself.... and don't let the "gap" grow so large that it cripples you
