If you are feeling negative about the fence...
It stops you getting out
It reminds you of an area where you cannot go
You can look at what is beyond but not touch it
It restricts your movements
It can cause pain if you climb it and fall
Its cold and harsh and immoveable
It generates feelings of powerlessness in you
However,
If you are feeling positive about the fence...
It indicates the boundary when you have gone far enough
It provides a safe zone to live and play in
It provides a safe zone to live and play in
It creates a sense of freedom from worry
It keeps out thieves and stray dogs
It is reliable and doesn't move on a whim
It is a thing of beauty made by a craftsman
How do I perceive the fences that God gives me?
