Healing the Heart: No Real Harm Done

Recently I realized that the harm anyone has mostly ever done to me has been to my ego.

Most of the people or events that I have perceived as painful or upsetting or hurtful were to my ego. No real harm has been done and seeing that makes it easier to let go, especially where relationships are concerned. Relationships were the most of it though there were also incidents like I didn’t get a job I wanted or I thought I wasn’t going to get to fulfill a dream, or children teasing me as a child, disappointments; still it was all only affecting my ego.

The only real pain I think that there has been that was not a result of my ego’s perception, was the pain and loss of others like illness and death, those are true pains upon the heart. But the other ninety percent were only hurts to the ego and as I said, I realized no real harm has been done.

Ego is really our biggest battle in life and living in the Spirit requires us to participate in the battle and defeat of the ego each day. Ego really encourages us to magnify and blow up our perceived hurts into more than they really were and in order to grow and to evolve, it is important that we see and defeat this.

So the next time you are feeling persecuted or pained, hurt or upset, ask yourself if this is indeed a true pain on the heart or if it is simply a bruising of the ego? Once you can learn to discern what is ego and what is real, you can then extend this into the situation when it arises so that it is blocked immediately and no longer creates any additional or unwanted emotional baggage. In the meantime, while you are weighing these things out, just remember, in most cases, there was no real harm done; it was only the ego, then just let it go.

Bible Will Teach You How to Know Your Enemy; Know Your Self

When we study the Word, and we are given the ears to hear, and the ability to discern, we can then be confident of the truth from wherever it comes. Last night in re-watching the movie, “Birth of the Dragon,” I was able to understand so much more due to my Bible studies. From the movie, “Lesson number one, know your enemy. Lesson number two, know your self. With these two principles, you need never fear a thousand battles.” This was so heavy and so profound and I got it on such a deep spiritual level regarding all facets of life (not just regarding two men in physical combat). The Bible has shown me how to know my enemy and to know my self and therefore not fear. When we truly understand that we are an eternal child of God, then we know our self . When we understand that anyone or thing (including our own thoughts) that is not in the light of God is of the darkness (even those lost in the gray), then we know our enemy. Jesus said in Mathew 12:30, “He t...

He Will Make My Feet Like Deer's Feet

There is a tree out my window with branches that look like a stag. I have been contemplating it for years. Sometimes I forget about it, others I see it. The tree stag has been jumping out at me recently again. I looked it up and found a couple quotes on websites, “the stag came to symbolize God’s power, nobility, freedom and purity.” In Scottish lore, it symbolizes regeneration because of the antlers. “In the Christian imagination, the deer is a symbol of piety, devotion and of God taking care of his children: men.” “In it's simplest form, deer symbolize the joys of loving Christ intimately (Song of Songs 2:7). In biblical symbology, deer represent piety, devotion, and safety in God's care. They are a symbol of thirst and longing for the Lord. ... Deer feet are an analogy for our spiritual feet.” There were also a couple saints associated with the stag as divine encounters. It basically represents something good in every culture, but I went with the Scottish...
