Self-deception is bad. Take a good hard look at yourself once in awhile.
False humility is just as bad… if not worse. False humility is deadly. It will wreck your soul. Again, with God’s guidance, take proper stock of yourself once in awhile.
Don’t let grief pull you under. It will definitely try. Grief is a horribly powerful enemy. It will get you in its teeth and mangle you up until you’re so bloody messed-up you can’t do anything. Rebuke that beast!
Seek the wisdom and comfort of the Holy Spirit about these things. He will provide great comfort and great perspective. AND GREAT JOY!!! He is such a sweet and gentle master. The joy and literal ecstasy of His presence are sometimes just too much. Bless His Holy Name. We are so very grateful, Jesus, for your salvation and the presence of the Comforter.
Brothers and sisters, I don’t have to tell you, there’s a humongous war going on down here. And we are smack dab in the middle of it. As they said in Alien “stay frosty.” You’ll find the front lines in yo’ head! That’s where a lot of the hard action is taking place. Front lines, Keem-o-sawbee!! You’re immersed in it. Remember, although it may not seem like it, you’re not alone in that brain of yours, pilgrim. Our minds are a spiritual (and supernatural) jungle. But God is our guide. And He is faithful. Who should we fear if God be for us. NOBODY!!!
Let me just add: I don’t mean to be preaching. I’m mainly admonishing myself herein. Temptation abounds – even when you’re old like me (71). I feel older than that rusty gate in the front yard. But grace and truth will save me. I fear not. He promised to never leave me nor forsake me. He is my love and my life.
Praying for everyone I know about.
Love you, brothers and sisters.
Amen and amen… “Stay frosty”, guys.
