“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive; our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” ~ Psalm 124 Do You Concede? That’s what he said to me. He wasn’t talking to me. He was telling me what he had said to someone else. “Do you concede?” Shock is that amazing moment of bodily clarity that the mind then has to catch up to. What you have is what you've got. You won’t be able to change it. You can only deal with it. It wasn’t a choice you were given. Perhaps that’s a concession. There are no short cuts, only better routes. The unexpected way, if you’re taking it, is precisely where you’re supposed to be. If you make a habit of cutting corners, you’ll never know what’s in them. And, cutting corners only makes more corners! Then, what will you do? The power of understanding lies in between. Things only can go wrong when you believe wrong can’t be redeemed. It may not be what you were looking for, but it is what you have got. It isn’t what people say of you, it’s what you make of it. The words of a fool are a light thing.
