Journal Entries: Don’t Deceive Yourself

Do not become so caught up in your emotions that you lose sight of reason. Do not dwell upon agony and hopelessness and thankless pain and martyrdom, for they merely feed pride and a self-righteous sense of dignity. Such thoughts should be set aside for thoughts of God, of love, of mercy, of hope, of light. Do not become blinded by all the emotional baggage of life my child, for it will cloud your sight, and you will no longer be able to see life as God sees it. Accept the word of all men, and believe all things, yet do not be fooled by a wicked man’s web of half-truths. Do not deceive yourself and set forth in your mind excuses and vain reasonings, for such is foolishness and blasphemy. Trust in God, love God, believe.
