Whatever we seem to lack, or fear we might lack in the future, is a “right idea” that is forever found in God and that we always include and reflect as God’s image.
Faith provides that mental space where we lose the caterpillar views of ourselves as we behold the butterfly we’ve always been—as we behold the radiant truth of our unchanging spiritual identity.
The magnitude of what Jesus accomplished through his Gethsemane experience can be immensely helpful in the less world-changing but still significant events in our lives.
The most effective approach is to set aside, even if for a moment, what the physical senses suggest and to accept as credible only what spiritual sense reveals. This isn’t about burying our head in the sand but rather making way for thought to be lifted out of it.
In the case of all that’s going on within and around us, we can ask ourselves whether or not our thinking is premised on a conviction that there’s only one power, and that one all good.
Our true work, everything we do, is to “believe on him”—to recognize that the Christ, Truth, that Jesus so fully lived, is always with us, and to follow Christ.
