symptomatic agony

i recently was listening to a medical radio show and the host who seemed to be a physician himself was stating that many doctors today tend to give a symptomatic diagnosis. he went further to say that we have become patients that settle with temporary treatment, that we just want to take care of the pain for now. when i applied this thought to the spiritual sense it seemed to fit perfectly as i'm sure our creator intended.

we have settled for too long with with temporal things that were not designed to give us complete satisfaction. the world brings a vast variety of ways to take away the pain we deal with in this life. these trifles should only be given the attention they deserve because unlike the glorious forever that waits for us, these things will fade. then and only then can we live fully and abundantly through jesus.

I've let go of someone I can't let go of. Sure, this time will produce character and shape me more as a young man but still it's hard to forget.

God sees us not only how we are but how we can be. just thought i'd throw that out there.

sorry this post is short but it is.
