A day kayaking on the Arkansas River sounded like the perfect adventure to this teen . . . until she began to feel intimidated by fearful thoughts about everything that could go wrong. That’s when a spiritual insight helped her move from fear to confidence.
I quickly realized that I had been unconsciously “influenced erroneously” by nothing more than a random, erroneous thought of disease, and at that very moment the threat lost all its power to scare me.
When we view life from a spiritual perspective, we will no longer feel compelled to ruminate over painful or wistful memories, nor let them define or limit us. Instead, we will rejoice in and embrace the wondrous ways in which God leads us forward.
Where we may see ourselves and others as sick, sinning, or dying, the spiritual fact is that each one of us is actually constantly reflecting all of the divine qualities, such as wholeness, purity, and immortality.
