Have you ever kissed a frog thinking it was a prince?
Do Princes come in frog clothing? Do frogs come in Prince attire?
I was raised on the idea that I would kiss a few frogs before the right prince came along. I believed in the "and they lived happily ever after." Fantasy often outweighed reality. It is easy to see what we want to see and not take into consideration things that should be noted before committing ourselves to a person or an ideal.
But, what I said I believed more was the Scripture that "ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." I didn't always look for the true nature of the situation, but my idea of what that truth was. Consequently, when reality took hold, it was often the process of recovery instead of the freedom that truth would have delivered.
I guess what I want to say today is to check things out, It isn't a bad thing to know that frog well or that prince. It really isn't a bad thing to know that God doesn't want us to live with the warts that we get from frogs. However, He does have the means for removal, if necessary.
