Life is all about perspective, right? If you're having a lousy day, you can change the way you think about it, and your day could get better. If your day is going smoothly and you start to complain or reflect on the negative, your day can take a turn for the worse. It's all about your perspective.
But is changing your perspective always easy? My experience says no. Maybe I should shift gears and say that it IS easy. Am I just telling myself that then? Or is a shift in the way you look at your life really difficult? Is mind over matter truly...true?
The Holy Spirit living in me is abundantly stronger than these petty arguments, stressful circumstances, and irritating everyday hurdles. So- am I simply stifling His power in me?
Am I choosing to live in the moment to the point that I am swayed in every situation? I thought we were supposed to live in the moment. Perhaps I feel too much. Perhaps I allow myself to feel too much.
But I don't want to lose my emotionalism or ignore the pain someone inflicts on me.
Is this where forgiveness comes in? (sorry to switch subjects, but as I allow by brain to follow this thought pattern, it went here) Forgiveness. What a difficult word.
Forgive and forget, right? Forgive, but don't forget. But God forgives and forgets, right? When we are forgiven by the Lord, He removes all that junk as far as east is from the west. But does He remember? Of course. Right? Is He choosing to forget about it? It doesn't matter. The past is gone. We move forward. So, I should forgive and move forward. Forget to the point where it is removed, and we press on to happier memories.
Is any of this healthy? Is any of this making sense?
