Focus on Jesus

WorldNetDaily: Why so many Americans today are 'mentally ill': "Toward the end of my son's Boy Scout troop meeting not too long ago, the scoutmaster stood up and used his customary 'Scoutmaster Minute' to retell the famous story an old Cherokee chief supposedly told his grandson. The chief said: 'A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible battle – between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, pride, envy, lust, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies and cruelty. 'The other wolf stands for honesty, kindness, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, friendship, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. 'This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too,' he added. The grandson reflected on these words for a minute and then asked his grandfather, 'Which wolf will win?' The old chief simply replied, 'The one you feed.'"


My 'Table of the Lord' mentor gave me some encouraging words yesterday that go along with this very well...she said..."Glance at the circumstances around you, BUT focus on Jesus."
