Whenever you go into an area where construction is taking place, there are signs posted all around that warn “Caution: Hard Hat Required”. This, of course is a safety measure because you are in an unstable environment that is still being built. With construction, whether it is to refurbish an existing building, or to build one up from its foundation, there is the chance that you will encounter elements that could potentially cause harm. The sole purpose of the hard hat is to simply protect from serious injury.
Many, if not all of us, are under construction. If you have made up in your mind that in 2010 you are going to make some changes in your life, you are under construction. If you are leaving an unhealthy relationship or situation, you my friend are under construction. If you are working on lining up your finances with your vision, you certainly are under construction.
In the midst of our ‘construction’, there’s the very real chance that those around us may get hit with some falling “debris” – Caution: Hard Hat Required. The challenges of having to renovate the old and bring in new thoughts, ideas, people, visions and aspirations – Caution: Hard Hat Required. The uncertainty of starting from ground zero and building on a new “firm foundation” may be a bit daunting – Caution: Hard Hat Required. During this building process, let your “hard hat” be that of a sincere apology to those that may have been bit with the abrasiveness of your “falling debris”. Let your “hard hat” be a forgiving heart (starting first with forgiving yourself, then others). Let your “hard hat” be the elimination of excuses and procrastination and move forward with God’s wrecking ball that will destroy all doubt and past disappointments. Lastly, let your “hard hat” be one of love an compassion – after all, we all are in some stage of construction.
Although we are a work in progress, the finished product is soon to be completed, and the new sign will soon read “Grand Opening”!
