Reality Check

 

It seems that a reality check is often needed.  When you feel the weight of sin and darkness closing in on you, remember:
"...while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
The world and even our own brethren will tell us there is no lasting solution for people with our problems. We're just going to fail again and again.
We know we are not to supposed to buy into that - but, we do.
"...they tell us we're all terminal
But I don't believe a thing they say, they're only words
Science and technology to help us numb the pain
But far beyond any science there is one thing I am sure of
A virgin had a Son, and a stone was rolled away
So how can we be terminal, because He lives today"   (John Elefante, from "This is How the Story Goes.")
Yes - it's impossible for us to do well. It's impossible for us to make the right decisions all the time. We should be terminal.
HOWEVER, we serve the God of the impossible. The One who calls what is dead, "alive". The One who has already proved Himself to be the One Who operates in the realm of impossibility.
Take courage, dear ones. Don't stand still in terror. Choose not to walk the dark path of the world today. Your Master and personal Super Hero is not limited by what people think.
