An Everyday Expression of Hope and Its Potential

An Everyday Expression of HopeĀ 

A Stumbling Block

Stumbling Block

I don’t want people to trip over me trying to get to their greatest potential.

If you are the biggest obstacle in someone’s life then…

…let’s just say, that is not good.

To say the least.

If you are the biggest reason that someone else fails in their attempt to achieve.

If you are the deepest hole someone else has to climb out of in order to succeed.

If you are the highest wall someone has to scale in order to find their way.

Be the ladder they use to climb.

Throw them a rope to pull them out of the hole.

Help them find their way.

Rather than use the word “no”, use the word, “go”.

Why be the very reason that they cannot achieve?

Push them, pull them, encourage them.

Whatever you have to do in order for them to reach their place in life.

“O Lord God of the armies of heaven, don’t let me be a stumbling block to those who trust in you.”

Psalm 69:6 (TLB)
