All of life is like an orange. Squeeze an orange and you don’t get milk, or coffee, or coke. You get orange juice, regardless of which hand or machine squeezes that orange. Why? Because only that which is inside comes out, nothing else. So what about you? When money or work or relationship wrings you dry and squeezes you tight, what comes out? Anxiety? Frustration? Jealousy? Or do love, joy and peace come out? The next time you’re squeezed, don’t blame the hand doing the squeezing; instead notice what comes out and set about changing what’s inside.
-Ted Dekker
