We were Made to be in Play

I think there is a reason God didn't give us a remote
One we could use to skip over and stop the hard times or
One to rewind to the good days
or one to stop the pain


He knew we'd be too quick to assume what lies ahead is undesirable when really we're nearing our peak. 

He knew that we'd do dumb things, and try to go back and fix it when we'd likely make it worse.

He knew the pain we'd eliminate would hurt us more in the end.

He knew we fear the future too much to give us a chance to pause where we are.

He knew we'd never slip out of our comfort zone since it'd be too risky.

He knew we could never imagine that there is something greater lying ahead when we seem to have it all.

He knew we'd move full speed over the moments we should be taking in.

He knew we wouldn't get stronger if we kept trying to stop the pain.

There are lessons to be learned.
Feelings to be felt.
Discussions to be discussed.
Words to be heard.
and People to be loved.

We were made to be in Play.

  • "It may seem odd to think of having a relationship with ourselves, but we do. Some people can't get along with themselves. They criticize and belittle themselves all day long unitl they begin to hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better" -Dieter F.
