So, as I was listening to the radio on the way home from work yesterday, I heard a silly commercial. They call it a "comic strip for radio". They are usually silly, but get the point across. This one particularly hit me. This guy goes to the doctor to get some pain medicine because he has an arrow in his side. The doctor, of course, wants to take the arrow out and fix the problem. But they guy says no, just give him pain medicine. He wants to hold on to the arrow-it's a good conversation piece....he's gotten used to it....he doesn't want to get rid of it.
How many times do we want to hold on to something that God is asking us to give up? It's for our best, every time, but we just want the "pain medicine" and to keep our arrow.
So, a silly example? Yes, kinda. But think about it. It makes sense and shows us how silly it is for us to hang on to an arrow that is only hurting us instead of letting God take it out and truly heal us.
What is your arrow that needs to be removed? Let God take that arrow out of your side and heal you and change you.

Good post, Amy, and I'm going to be doing some thinking about this today.
Do you have an arrow?
