The Grass Is Always Greener

The grass is greener over there on that side of the fence!

Faithfulness is really hard. We don't like to be faithful. It requires us to push through when there are obstacles. It is so much easier to walk away.

The most beautiful of things that I get to see is when people choose to be faithful. Great opportunities come along every day. These cause us to take our eye off the ball and to look over the proverbial fence.

Here's the thing though, we often look over the fence not because the grass on that side caught our attention. We look over because we are sick of manure on our side. If the grass is greener it is because the other side has better manure and more of it.

Faithfulness is hard. But it is better than the alternative.
