The Mind & Suffering

I’m sharing my friends bog, its interplay with suffering, because the mind and suffering are a human condition- a position we all find ourselves in - one where Jesus says Grace, Love, Mine, Hope in All Things.

You know, Abby, I’m no different than you in the battlefield of my mind. I have to fight my own thoughts, because we were MADE TO NEED HIM. It’s easy for me to think that because of xyz, surely abc & def- & OH! That! Weight! I have to search out God’s truth - like it’s my next breath.
He’s the only way I can breathe – air that oxygenates the fibers of my vessel.
Every day --> ALL day.
Truth --> light from dark, life from death, breath & fullness of life from dry bones, hope, promise, goodness, A Way, His Plans, A Creator, Redemption, Beauty, An expression of Glory that Honors Him. Because of His Truth, I can rest; I can hope. I find strength to replace my weariness. I feel His loveliness – gentle kindness. I give Him mine & I get His!
Truth & Faith yield Belief & Life.
So because of Him, His work, there is Promise of Glory, & because of Him, I can live in Hope. I can put off my life and put on Him, His Living Life. Hope for today & Hope for tomorrow.
