Keeping Our
Soul Healthy
We must not
react, we must be at peace
Each day
brings on new challenges regarding the health of your soul. Those moments when
a family member or coworker makes a remark that are meant to anger you, are
those times you need to guard your heart. When those around you are gossiping
about someone, that is an opportunity for you to keep silent. The driver who's
just cut you off on the freeway; the woman who pushes her way in front of you
in the check out line; the rude neighbor; all are moments in time when you can
take control and grow stronger spiritually.
Trials and
temptations, when confronted with a peaceful heart, bring forth healing and
make the soul that much stronger and healthier. Reacting does nothing but bring
forth paralysis of the soul, binding us to our fallen nature. Receiving all
these temptations with a peaceful heart and not reacting to outside negative
stimulus, helps strengthen you for the next round of trial and temptation.
Little by little, you will find that the Peace of Christ fills your every
waking moment, bringing on a joyful spirit and a peaceful heart.
Love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
