“Healthy Mind?” Blog #187
What exactly makes me a mentally healthy person?
Do I push myself to learn about spiritual truths today?
Can I find healthy thoughts in my daily actions?
When I am very sad and I don’t know what to do, this is usually when my mind begins to
stretch, and IF I am prayerful, I can follow a divine pattern. Yet, most of the time, in the
past, I have remained in the world and “of the world”. The heavy, weighty, dark feelings
that can come over me are because I allow it. There is not much choice when a mind
decides to GO BLACK. What do I mean? I mean times when I have allowed “dark patterns”
to take over. Times when I have stated to myself, “Whats the use?” Whether a person
struggles with depression, anxiety or addiction, there is one true statement here, “The
mind is in Charge totally.”
What I think decides my course of action for my entire day. I am in charge of me. By
deciding on a belief in Jesus Christ, I can break the chains of dark thinking now. I don’t
think a person can grasp the gravity of what is going on when a person just “waivers back
and forth” in their spiritual quest for accepting Jesus into their heart. It’s either YES or NO.
There is not an in between. I must have a purposeful life to live.
I believe that 2025 is an amazing year for people to change their belief system and bring
Jesus Christ into their life. Very famous philosophical, non-believing people have changed
over and found Christianity. Some people just had a fascination with Jesus. Other people
have had super-natural experiences and still others have let go of their battle with
addiction and had a life-changing super-natural experience.
A good example of extreme living was Nala Ray, once an atheist and in the porn industry
has since left it all, encountered Jesus and converted to Christianity. Then we have Ayaan
Hirsi Ali who is a Muslim by nature and a famous critic of Islam. She became disillusioned
with Islam after seeing its restorative aspects especially regarding women’s rights. She
became a Christian she writes because “ all people are made in the image of God -
human beings are people not things”. Prior to Jesus, Ayaan Ali found herself “spiritually
empty and, upon exploring Christianity, found it wasn’t just compelling, but true”. Then we
have Claire Elise Boucher, known professionally as “GRIMES”. Grimes is a Canadian
musician, singer, song-writer, record producer, music video director and visual artist. She
recently posted on line that she was embarrassed to admit that she was getting into
Christianity as it was the ONLY thing to stop her from vaping. Fascinating to see how
many people, especially celebrity conversions, say they were once opposed to Jesus
and now are taking steps to only embrace HIM.
These testimonials across different spheres of influence show a profound leap in FAITH.
My life is like a spider web, when I am in the middle of it, I am caught up and at times no
idea how to escape. Yet, when I close my eyes, I step aside and see the beautiful intricate
pattern Jesus has painted for me to step out of my pain, isolation and all hopelessness.
