Twice today the question was posed by two different radio speakers so I thought I better pay attention and write it down. The question goes like this:
At what cost are you willing to do right? or How much are you willing to pay to do what is right?
At what cost are you willing to turn to wrong? or How much are you willing to pay to do what is wrong? or What will it take for you to do wrong?
Yes, it can be asked in different ways. And as I was trying to write it down as I heard it, I realized that asked in a certain way can cause more of a catch in the thought. You see when I phrase it with cost rather than pay, I realized that cost brings on the darker side of things whereas pay, I might just gloss it over and not get the real meaning.
A bit of caution here. If you really haven't messed up and have been a 'goody two shoes', you think you can handle the cost. Unfortunately, my older wiser self {smirk} would tell my younger self just what exactly tripped me up. I would answer the question what I was willing to pay to do wrong. I don't think my younger self would have believe my older self. {sadly}
I do hope that my now self will find and keep the good fencing God has placed around me. I want my future self to look back and be proud of me! It is about how purely and beautifully I can live my life and not how close to the edge I can live without getting dirty.
