This morning a friend told someone else from church, “Pour cold water on your heart.” Why? What was the meaning? What was she supposed to do?
Also, just now someone told me that I was a “person” and that I “acted like a person.” Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Did I leave feeling very encouraged or very discouraged by what she said? What do you think?
Some of you liked my last question, so here are another two for you. Again, the answers will be posted in a few days.
I had NO idea about the first one, though I was thinking along the same line as Ken on the second one. Anxious to hear the true meanings. Love the suspense and way you write these.
We are guessing “Pour cold water on your heart” means to calm down or be less excited.
And “acted like a person” means you were in charge or acting like you were in charge? Or that you were acting maturely?
I thought I got emails when you posted here, but apparently not… Thanks for mentioning it in the email!
My guess for the first one is that cold water is desirable there, so that is like saying in the US that you should be ‘on fire’ for God.
My guess for the second is that you did something that showed you have begun to understand their culture.
