It’s so easy for all of us to drift to “what if.” Julia, your statement is powerful: “when I am disciplined enough to focus on Jesus instead of the waves…” Yes, Jesus’ presence in known in this present moment. He grounds us in grace for what is real. Peace to you.

I often struggle wishing I had made better choices in the past. Dreaming of how beautiful my life would be if only I had lived differently. When I am disciplined enough to focus on Jesus instead of the waves crashing around me I am able to see clearly and make healthy choices for today. I never thought of it as having a disciplined mind. That idea gives a different perspective and refreshed purpose to my thought life, which is so very easy to ignore.

Thank you, Jessica, for taking the time to read and comment. Yep–just this morning I was feeling a little sad about a friendship and had to choose to keep my mind stayed on what actually is reality in the friendship (however painful) instead of what I wished the reality of that friendship would be (however beautiful). Reality is a friend of intimacy with God.
