our minds stand on a platform,
a foundation built by words.
words of comfort, words of promise, words of courage strengthen this platform,
while words of pain, words of hate, and words of sadness wear it down.
a strong platform gives the mind stability,
while a crumbling platform puts the mind on its feet, struggling to stay standing.
when we build this platform only on the words of people,
the platform will go through a constant process of building up then breaking down,
because people say a lot of things.
the worst is when what was supposed to have been building up our platform
was made of poor materials.
at a moment when we thought you were standing on level ground,
we hear a crack,
and we start falling.
and get hurt.
and now we're too scared to try going back up.
thinking this way helped me understand why it is so wonderful to have a God who is immutable.
when we build our platform with what God tells us, His words,
we build a platform that doesn't crack, for He never changes His mind.
the words of people still contribute to the building of the platform,
but there will always be a layer of unbreakable ground that
even when everything built with human words break,
there is a place to stand.
