Tear Down Fences

There is a time to build a fence, around your house, your pasture or just for your dog.They keep Children and Dogs in and they keep dogs and unwanted people out.

Then there are times fences separate, divide and keep people apart. The fences can be real wood, wire or stone or walls of resentment, jealously, stubbornness and many things real or imagined. Those fences need to come down! A rotting wooden fence is ugly to the sight and should be repaired or torn down. We may think the walls around our heart are out of sight, they can be seen and they are ugly also. They need to be torn down.
The only people who have the right to dismantle them is the Builder. We build it when we erect a fence around our heart to protect us. Take a good look at it, does it bring peace? unity? or anything good?. Who are you wanting to stay away from? Take a slow start and determine the fence is coming down, when you see that person, smile. The next time they go by, wave to them. After that, say a cheery hello. Now it is time to make a phone call or bake a cake and deliver it to them.
