He would have us become involved in a million and one things in this life–probably none of which is very important in the long run–to keep us from concentrating on the things that are really important, particularly the reality that we are God’s children. He would like us to forget about home and family values. He’d like to keep us so busy with comparatively insignificant things that we don’t have time to make the effort to understand where we came from, whose children we are, and how glorious our ultimate homecoming can be!”

“We have an enemy who would do anything to keep us distracted from Jesus.”

And renewing our minds is the start line to break free from all of this. Remember, if we dare, "We can do all things through Christ who strenghtens us.":..”

“In fact, my mother always says that emotions are what the gods gave us to distract us from the pain of life. They are what make life bearable and what keeps us going no matter how hard it gets. (Alix)”

“For all of us it’s the things that won’t work that keep our interest.”
