We all have certain behaviors in which we engage that just seem too good, too important or too much a part of our being to consider giving up. But we know in our hearts that these behaviors block us from full communion with God, from becoming our best selves and from fulfilling the purpose we were created to accomplish. These behaviors may be life long habits, ways of thinking or a set of priorities. Some of them may actually lift us up to a certain point, but them limit us from achieving the ultimate destination we seek. These behaviors are like a hot air balloon that is tethered to the ground. It is safe, but can only achieve limited altitude. If we are to soar to the heavens we must cut those lines that tie us down and limit our development.
In the balloon,
Z Gardener
