Walk and Mind

I can already tell a drastic difference in the directions my thoughts run. I feel my internals calming down. Honestly, I have experienced some feelings of withdrawal, but I’m determined to see this through.

A Promise Fulfilled
/
Jesus had worked and walked with His disciples for three years, and it seemed to come to a calamitous and climactic end on a wooden cross, but on the third day Jesus rose from the dead. Appearing to His disciples and friends, He encouraged them to stay together, and to not put too much stock in His physical (though glorified) body, and to look forward to something else.
