Some of us have experienced pain and/or rejection when it comes to our love lives.  Because of this, we’ve set up walls that, in our minds, will protect us.  Actually, those walls have a tendency to hurt us because they prevent love from coming to us.  Real love doesn’t penetrate a wall.  What may happen is that the wall will turn it away.  That love will go elsewhere and you are still left . . . alone.

 

    I had built up so many walls in my own life, I felt like I was a walking Fort Knox!  Those walls added extra burdens that were totally unnecessary.  They weighed me down.  It was a long journey and not always pleasant, but the walls had to come down not only to allow real love to come into my life, but also to free me.

 

    There are many reasons for many different walls in our lives.  Make a move to take them down.  Try to see where you may be part of the problem, yourself.  The other person is not always the only one who’s “at fault” and causing friction which causes you to put up the walls.  Sometimes the greatest enemy is in “me.”  When you begin to take down the walls, real love, joy and happiness will come in to replace them and you can experience more freedom.
