A Worthy Word

So what do I really think about mental health?

Some of you may wonder what I really think about the idea of supernatural peace. I realize that my posts may seem like a conundrum: 
  • A few months ago I wrote that emotions are simply the product of our choices. 
  • Yet, several days ago I wrote that mental health issues are more nuanced than we like to admit. 
  • Then my last post I wrote about God's perfect peace. 
  • Not to mention my speech about eating disorders. 
​So must Christians have inner peace or not? How do I reconcile this conundrum?

Perfect Peace | Original Poem

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” - ‭‭Isaiah 26:3

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭14:27‬
This is a poem I wrote several months ago about God's peace, based on the two verses above. It was written as a song, but I revised the wording slightly to fit into a more poetic style.  

I hope it's a blessing to you all right now. 
​In the highest hills and deepest depths
I searched to find a lasting rest
Yet no distraction could assuage
The deathly grip of fear’s dark cage
Until this call ended my quest:
“Come unto Me; I’ll give you rest”

The Wrong Type of “Social Distancing”

In 1871, Horatio Spafford, a successful businessman and lawyer from Chicago, mourned the death of a son to pneumonia. The same year he lost much of his business to the Great Chicago Fire. Then, in 1873, his four remaining children and wife boarded a ship bound for Europe. Fifteen days later he received this telegram from his wife: “Saved alone, what shall I do?”

Mr. Spafford immediately booked a passage to join his wife. Four days into the crossing, he was summoned by the captain, who informed him that the ship was passing over the very spot where only days before his children had descended three miles down into their watery grave. Horatio quietly entered his private quarters and penned a beautiful hymn of faith.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
