Okay, my friend just sent me this post from my mentor and wonderful spiritual mother, Catherine. SUCH wisdom and truth here. Check out Mack and Catherine for all your faith questions/counseling/inner healing at http://www.whollyignited.com/
"If you are looking at external things as the source of your frustration and disappointment, you are missing the mark. When we are in a struggle, we tend to place blame on our spouse, our boss, our job, our finances, him, her, them, it, those, etc. In other words, if she, he or it would turn around, I could be at peace. Sound familiar?
The thing is, all these external things merely reveal what is already in the heart. The external issues don’t so much create the frustration, anger, pain, sorrow, resentment, bitterness, etc. They merely are the catalyst that exposes the issues of the heart.
We can “prop up” our attitude, our behavior and our actions through determination and will only to a point. But when the right amount of stress from external issues piles up, the real condition of the heart will be exposed.
The great news is that God is all about healing the heart! All we need to do is to recognize our need and give Him permission to do what only He can do…Change our heart!
If you see this need in yourself, and you are tired of “posturing, posing and pretending”, then ask God to heal you on the inside, then everything on the outside will take on a whole new perspective!"
Oy... hearts... I tell ya!
