That we don’t even know when we are being lied to!
Ok…that’s powerful…
(I can't claim this one...its from our pastor's sermon last Saturday night.)
The devil is such a good liar that we don't even know we are being lied to.
Makes you look with new perspective at the world around you and the
things you think, say, feel and do, doesn’t it?
Makes you want to examine and back-check, to determine if what you
believe is really what you believe…and to determine if what you believe
is based on truth or on lies.
Makes me want to ask, “Where did that come from and why is it part of my
world?”
Good stuff, I think, to review and check myself, to validate what is
habit or life-style against what I am called to be as Heaven’s
ambassador…
Really good stuff to ask the question, “Why do I think that?” and dig
deep enough to find some real answers…and where there are no answers,
find a new thought…a new perspective based more on truth than on shadows
or memories or on what somebody else fed me…
This was in my FC planner today as the quote of the day:
“Everyone has his burden. What counts is how you carry it.” – Joe Brown
and David Brown.
This, too, has me examining and checking myself…
Now as burdens go, mine, frankly, is not all that dramatic…but in my
comfortable life, do I carry it as though it were bigger and more
debilitating than it really is?
What do others see and know of me carrying my burden?
It’s a good question…a very good question.
My burden is light…I could help somebody else with theirs…
I could not whine and complain about mine so much…
Happy pondering!
Peace, everyone!

I'm exploring these topics to a certain extent too. I've been reading a book which speaks to cognitive therapy...basically what you're saying, "how we carry it". Makes ya think!
