Quote

It's okay to have emotional swings.

It is natural for humans to have emotions.

Even if you are upset or angry, you swing supplely, and aim to be "steadfastness", to get back to normal again with ease.

People have got to live in a 'sea of strangers', which naturally causes stress and conflicts. Many people may believe that it is better to be emotionally unaffected, but it is natural for emotions to waver and be disturbed. The important thing is not to get caught up in or swept away by the tide. That is, as long as your emotions do not spill out of the vessel of the 'heart'.

Steadfastness does not mean a mind that does not move like a rock no matter what, or a mind that is as quiet as the surface of the water, which does not ripple at all. Without feelings, it is as if you were dead.

Steadfastness is a mind that may sway but does not overflow; a mind that may waver like a balance toy, but its axis is fixed on one point.

Nine out of ten emotional problems are a matter of mindset, a matter of how you look at things. Once you have a correct perception of the situation, you are not at the mercy of your emotions, even if they are disturbed.

When you are caught up in a tide of emotions, something inside you is misjudging. Misperceptions may be caused by wanting to protect one's position and pride. Or perhaps because you are preoccupied with a single concept. In order to reveal it, it is necessary to technically stop the emotions at once.

If you know the technique of shutting off the flow of emotions once they are in place, it is possible to cultivate a steadfastness that will return even if you sway like a balance toy.

Entering the Kingdom of God

After sharing the good news with the people in that town, and after many had become believers, they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.

They encouraged the believers to remain firm and to continue to trust in Jesus. “We have to go through many trials to enter God's kingdom,” they said. — Acts 14:21-22 | Free Bible Version (FBV) The Free Bible Version is a project of Free Bible Ministry; Copyright © 2018, Free Bible Ministry.

British Jewish journalist Melanie Phillips responds to what she rightly calls an ‘unspeakable atrocity’: the savage murder of Rina, Maia, and Lucy Dee by Palestinian terrorism.

Note the following quotes:

For Anglo-Jews, however, the attack on the Dee family isn’t just close to home. It is home. Rabbi Dee was a community rabbi in Radlett, just outside London, from 2011-2014 when the family moved to Israel. He and his family are well known and much admired in Britain’s Jewish community. The Anglo-Jewish world, both in Israel and in Britain, is numb with grief and shock.

And finally:

Remarkably, there have been no words of hatred from Rabbi Dee. No words of bitterness, no calls for revenge. Only an expression of trust that justice will be done; a reiteration of the balance within Judaism between justice and love; and the beyond-moving hope — after his wife finally succumbed to her injuries — that by choosing good over evil we can all make the world a better place. To glimpse this rabbi’s amazing courage and steadfastness, watch these two video clips here and here.

Lessons from the Wind

Wind bends the grasses Agitates the sea Riffling waves roll From water onto land While I remain unperturbed Steadfast Face into the wind As all around me Is buffeted And this This is how I want to be In the storm that is life Where I am disturbed By all that moves around me Perturbed by the rushing flow I take note Learn the lessons nature offers Resolve to become Resolute as the rocky shore Firm…

Natural vs. Supernatural: Faith, Hope & Love.

Elda Othello Wrightington Do you like to journal? I have always kept a yearly journal. My most recent entry reflected on the last three years of my life. Over the previous three years, I’ve had my faith tested in 2021 and experienced hopelessness in 2022. Last year, the sincerity of love was questioned due to hurt and disappointments in 2023. As I journaled and poured out my heart to the Lord…

One must not unresistingly let himself be swept along by unfavorable circumstances, nor permit his steadfastness to be shaken. He can avoid this by maintaining his inner light, while remaining outwardly yielding and tractable. With this attitude he can overcome even the greatest adversities.
