"Hurry kills Presence.
Worry kills Peace.
Doubt kills Faith
Ego kills Love."
Now, read that right to left.
This is absolutely perfect and absolutely true. What a treasure. Simple and profound. It really should be somewhere I can read it often.
"When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13:11-13
In a mirror, we see things in reverse. Is the image true? It is indeed our image, but it is backwards and incomplete. We do not see our whole image, even with two mirrors, we have to choose our focus... on the image in front of us or we can choose to key in on the image in the back mirror. Yes, we can see what we look like from behind, but we then lose focus on what is in front of us. Interesting isn't it?
We can choose presence, peace, faith, and love like armor as we go into battle with everyday struggles. Suit up. Shut up. Pray up.
Today, I am grateful for wisdom in reverse.
