Building or Breaking...

 I find myself doing what I'm doing a lot of in this season....thinking 

We think so much before breaking something. Despite, having more facts in our favor. Despite knowing why we are breaking something . We only consider breaking something when it's creation has subtracted more than it has added. When it's existence  does not allow co existence of our peace, happiness and dignity . There are less unknowns in breaking because you know exactly what it is that you are breaking 

Yet,  we are encouraged to happily build. We build homes and lives with people on hope and promises. With no assurance of what the result will be, yet we jump to building. We invest so much of ourselves,  we pour so much from ourselves to build. With far less certainty of what will be built,  with many more variables,  we don't think as much or as hard about the risky endeavor of building. 

Why then do we fear breaking those same things? We break with knowledge that we didn't have at the time of building which makes it a safer decision.

Yet, breaking seems more serious than building.  The future is unknown in both but breaking happens after you know...

To break or continue with what was built?
