My friend,who was living at the time in Israel had a white dove come to nest in the eves of his house which both he and his wife considered to be significent in that they thought it might be God’s seal of aproval on their new home.
After some little time my friend asked his wife if she had noticed that every time they slamed a door or there were raised voices in the home that the dove would flutter away. To which she said that she hadn’t noticed. O yes my friend said I’ve noticed it, and we do want the dove to stay don’t we? To which we his wife responded positively
Well said my friend if we want the dove to stay we will have to adjust to it for the dove will never adjust to us.
And if we value the dove of God we will have to adjust to him for he will never adjust to us.
