Some Things to Remember, Daily if Necessary
- Your life is temporary. The things of this life (the “life immediate”) are temporary
- The life you are looking forward to is eternal. So are the things of that life.
- Consequently the wise thing to do is to focus on the life to follow.
- The God who has made a way for you to enter into the life to follow has every desire that you succeed.
- When you think that he is disapproving of you because you are focusing on the life immediate, you are wrong.
- This is because you think that while you are focusing on the life immediate, God is as well. The reality is, God is always focused on your life as a whole: your immediate life and your future life, and how they relate to each other.
- This is the tip of the iceberg that is an uncomfortable reality: many of the things you belief about yourself are lies.
- You come to believe these lies through reinforcement by dwelling on them; lies like “I am not worthy.” “I am not redeemable.” “I have gone to far to come back again”
- The hard thing to remember is that these lies are not overcome and replaced by reminding yourself that they are, in fact, lies, but rather by focusing on the truth: “I am worthy.” “I have been redeemed because I was redeemable.” “I am never too far to go back, in fact I can go back now, this moment.”
Consider, meditate. Rinse, repeat.
