We had a very bad storm in my neighborhood the other day and the devastation was major. I woke up at the very moment when the thunder clapped, lightening struck, and everything went pitch black. I got out of bed. checked everyone, and went back to sleep. At sunrise later that morning, the power was still out, trees had fallen, and there was debris everywhere. I was in awe of the devastation happening all around me.
As I looked at the fallen trees, I began to wonder how a tree as healthy and as strong could break in half or just come right out of the ground roots and all. it became clear at that moment that though the tree looked good on the outside there was something definitely dying on the inside.
Just like those trees, people tend to look good on the outside but are suffering on the inside. They are dying physically, mentally, emotionally ,and/ or spiritually. We walk around as if everything is okay but we are troubled, bruised, and rotting. We have let the storms of life break us down and then we crumble to the ground unable to give life any more. Our foundation is unstable so our roots have nothing to hold on to.
It's time to do some self-reflecting and realize the things that are killing us slowly from the inside out. What are those things or people that you need to let go? Have you lost yourself in your relationships or jobs? Have you been sitting on your passions? When you fall, who or what will you destroy on the way down? Think about it!!!
