When we were children we had many names. And in our adulthood we are still often referred to by these names (titles). Have you ever been called hard headed? As an adult I can see true meaning behind these words that we often brush off. I have witnessed how a person’s head can actually be made hard by the swelling of his pride and ego. A person with a soft head you can communicate with in rewarding ways. However some heads are so hard that a brick couldn’t even put a dint in it. Too much knowledge can also give one a hard head and no more knowledge can get in it.
As children we are often referred to as being full of the devil. Often a young person’s speed that makes him often act before thinking can make one feel like it wasn’t him. I often think of the t.v.’s program Sanford and Son where aunt Esther often remarks “the devil made me do it”. We don’t listen to that to little voice inside. We let that voice outside that doesn’t belong to us dictate to us. Also spontaneous and full of ripeness a young girl may be called fresh. She hasn’t gotten old or worn yet and has much to live for. These and other titles that we just brush off have valuable meaning behind them. Wisdom comes with age. This thinking brain still thinks and is learning new things. How many names do you still have? How about nosey. Some of us adults talk without paying attention to that little brat in the room. And he can’t help but hear us. Many are still often called nosey. Let’s like our Bible tells us, put a guard over that mouth.
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
