What's DOWN IN THE WELL COMES UP IN THE BUCKET!

What's DOWN IN THE WELL COMES UP IN THE BUCKET!

Our thread today has NO intended parallelism to the laws of gravity at all.  What's DOWN IN THE WELL COMES UP IN THE BUCKET!  Neither is this a Christian thread although for Christians, you might have heard the old saying in Proverbs 14 goes:  "WHAT'S IN THE WELL COMES UP IN THE BUCKET".  Translating this into layman's terms may either get us in trouble OR keep us out of trouble along the way💚💛💜

In the simplest terms, our words, our ways and even our choices are an amalgamation and reflection of our very heart.  WHAT we say and do is the result of our focus.  A heart with all the positivity will be totally different from a heart filled with evil, negativity and desires that may lead one astray towards difficulties and worse, destruction and worst, even death, knock on wood.  Psychologists did a 'clinical way' of dissecting these disparate kinds of heart and it did give me a better grasp of things💧💧💧

The analogy here really is between that well and our heart.  And taking a lift from those researches, their first ASK is this:  IS YOUR HEART contaminated OR poisoned. And digging deeper, HOW's our own words OR actions?  Is it negatively impacting OR hurting others?  In the most literal sense, we CAN'T draw water from an empty well.  Instead, we must fill our 'thirsty' soul with the best intentions, all in the spirit of good faith.  Psychologists shared these CHALLENGE questions to ponder:

• Did I say OR do something that was NOT made in good faith?
• Was I motivated by selfishness [call it GREED] in my actions?
• How did I impact people?  Was it positively OR negatively?

From an analogy perspective, if down deep into the well, if it is muddy, WHAT else would you expect from therein?  On the other hand, if there's clean spring water down deep there, then that is WHAT we should expect to come up in our bucket.  Within our own lives, WHAT's down deep in our inner self is WHAT comes out WHEN we are in conflict.  And WHEN something challenges OR affirms our values OR beliefs, YES, the likelihood is that we will discover WHAT is 'down there in the bucket'💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Truth to tell, it takes a lifetime for us to ensure that that well up to its deepest point should be as clean and crystal clear as possible.  And we need to endeavor to avoid, where possible, of even a tinge of dirt that should spread out.  On the same breadth, that's the challenge of a lifetime within us as we need to constantly endeavor to have our innermost self as clean as possible, barring things that are 'force majeure' in life because at the end of the day, we are our own custodians of our own WELLS IN LIFE😀😀😀
