Twisted Lives
by an Old Disciple of Jesus Christ
Someone made a statement to me that life can be complicated. My reply was that it was people who complicate things, not life itself. Actually, when you think of it, life is fairly a simple thing. It is we humans that tangle everything up. To quote my dear late wife, “No one can get themselves in the mess that humans do.”
Why is it that so many, whose lives are in a mess, stay that way? They never seem to find a starting point; their lives are continually in disarray. I find most, if not all in this condition, simply are not willing to take the time and patience required to unravel the mess they’ve gotten themselves into.
One little helpful philosophical saying that the Lord gave me years ago is, “Begin where you are.” How many tangled balls of yarn lie in some old dusty drawer, never to be untangled by one who intends to someday? How sad; something beautiful and useful could be made from that muddled mess, had someone simply begun.
One thing is for sure in life; you’ll never get there if you don’t start!
