Our life’s compass

The other day, during our evening walk, my husband and I felt that gentle nudge to call up one of our friends. And sure enough, just as I expected, she was really down. She was confused with a lot of issues particularly those surrounding her impending marriage. After hearing her out, and the constant refrain of ‘I’m so confused’ my husband gently brought in an example.

He said, ‘We’ve all used compasses at school to draw that perfect circle. If however, we were to reverse the roles – use the pencil as the center and attempt to draw with the pointy edge, we’d end up tearing up the page and the pages below. It’s the same with life. As long as God is the center, there’s a sense of direction. However, if the focus changes, we stand in danger of tearing up our own lives.’

How does your life’s compass draw?

God bless.
