If I had come sooner...

I sat listening to the Chronicles of Narnia Soundtrack and scenes from the movie began to flash in my mind.  Prince Caspian always leaves me with a sadness and a solemnness that the first movie did not.  I believe this is in part due to the rashness of Peter that cost the lives of so many Narnians.  

One particular scene struck me though as I reflected on it.  Watch it here:

A couple of things struck me about this:

1. How often do I let the doubt of others affected my own judgement and decisions when I know it to be true?  Do I let others doubt cloud and affect me from acting upon the truth?  I know that in the past I have.  I wonder if I still do at times?
2. By failing to come to God sooner, are lives lost?  By not acting on the truth sooner, are lives lost?  By failing to speak out and share the truth of God boldly, are lives lost?  Does my failure to act cost the lives of others?

Just pondering these things in my heart.
