Leaks

# Chapter 39

Every time my roofing guy comes over to repair my roof, the net result so far is that the leak just keeps moving. This is telling is that we are treating the symptom not the cause. The water won’t stop coming until we find and eliminate the root cause. There are so many areas of our lives were we treat the symptom rather than the root cause. And perhaps like my roofer, you just can’t find the actual problem and so some drastic wider action is gonna have to take place in order to dig out the root problem and finally eradicate this particular leak once and for all.

This happens to us at work and in our relationships and in our lives all the time. Of course we want to take the least intrusive and destructive action possible to resolve the problem. But as we are discovering with our leaky roof, water is an insidious intruder. Pain and difficulties are the same. They will find any possible path to your house or your heart. And the only way to truly stop these elements of destruction in your life and home is the root cause, where its entering into your life. That point of entry has to be eliminated and completely dealt with. You cannot leave that possibility open, or the ceilings will begin falling down (they already have water circles all over them) and the rafters start to rot. Soon you will have much much larger problems, if you don’t get a handle on this one.
