God originally created
the Soul in its own nature: perfect purity, perfect calm, perfect
silence. It is a vitrtual well spring gushing from the very veins of the Heavenly
Father Himself. This is what allows mankind to commune with the divine. We hunger for
it. But we often go astray.
This Soul can
never be physically injured, never marred…but it can be defiled. Yet all things
added to it do for a time trouble it; and this is sorrow. Sorrow accrued can
eclipse the loving rays of God and lead to bitterness, deception, and
depression. This yoke is much too heavy for man to bear.
For many a year, man in
his quest for self-fulfillment has traveled a False road. To quench
his thirst, man has poured salt in ever increasing quantities into the water of
life; to cover the dung heaps of his imagination, he has raised mountains of
distraction wherein wild deadly beasts prowl. To cure his itch, he has flayed
his own skin; to exorcise his mental demons, he has evoked the devil.
Seeking false phantoms inadvertently invokes narcissism, which may indeed
elaborate complexities; are not these the very symptoms of the disease? We need
a physician…But who is qualified?
Traversing the false
road will always lead us into the wildernesses and deserts of
disenchantment. But there is good news: God is there! Even if you pitch your
tent 10 yards from hell, God is there. Take comfort in knowing the divine
physician Jesus Christ is waiting to unhitch your burdensome yoke and set you
on the True Road.
*Have you ever found yourself on a false
road?
*How did you know?
*Are you currently bearing any heavy yokes?
*Have you ever thought that your tent was
pitched near hell?*How did you know?
*Are you currently bearing any heavy yokes?
