There is a fine line that can be easily mistaken
Between inner strength and nonchalance.
Between insensitivity and firmness.
Between stewardship and possession.
Between faith and “couldn’t care less”.
Between rashness and bravery.

And unless we are the other person, which we never are, we should be hesitant to draw the line where we think it is. Just as we have our agendas, to...
“Is it possible to outrun the past? No. But when you know the forgiveness and grace of God, it is possible to face it without fear….[when the past comes knocking] we don’t open the door on our own. We look to our crucified and risen Saviour, and we ask Him to answer it for us.”

Handball Thoughts in Handball Analogies - Lessons...
