And they came together and worked out their differences. They caught the scent of love and followed it through the maze of life in the direction that God wanted them to go. How very often today we find ourselves in similar situations in troubled relationships, full of jealousy, competition, and misunderstanding. How often we wound one another deeply. How often trust is broken.
Life grows dark, and the way ahead is uncertain.
We wonder where God is, and where God may be leading us. And we may think that the way to solve our problem is with some grand gesture, something dramatic and spectacular. Or else we think the key is to act on the powerful feelings we may have, simply to express ourselves, regardless of the consequences. I understand the appeal of living that way. But I understand, too, that when we live that way, we leave God's way.
