Building Bridges


What do you visualize when you hear the word bridge? Bridges go back in history thousands of years. the Romans and Greeks were great designers and engineers in bridge construction. Some of those structures are still standing and daily serve the public. Bridges are such a part of our everyday life, we rarely give them consideration. 

Have you ever thought of love being a bridge that connects one person to another? Love never gives up when hard, difficult times come to visit. Love keeps believing when all systems seem to fail, when a chasm is so deep and wide no human endeavor appears creative enough to bridge the gap. Yet love will find a way when everything else fails.

As a young child, I memorized a three-word verse from the Bible, “God is love.” When I have sinned, God’s love serves as a bridge to a clear conscience and a clean heart. I realize I must choose to walk across that bridge to receive God’s forgiveness. Even then, the Spirit of the living God prompts and nudges me onward to begin the crossing.
