Glad and Joyful; Day221; #7 Irrational Belief-Life’s Difficulties

Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous–with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account.   Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for in this same way people persecuted the prophets who were before you.  Mat 5:11 -12

13 Irrational Beliefs p.41-43 Transforming The Mind
#7 It’s easier to avoid life’s difficulties and responsibilities than to face them. This is irrational because avoiding a task is often more difficult than performing it and
leads to later complications and problems, and probably loss of self-confidence. An easy life is not necessarily a happy one; on the contrary, a challenging, responsible, achieving life is an enjoyable one. Life is not necessarily ‘fair’; pain and suffering are an inevitable part of human life, accompanying tough, healthy decisions and the process of growth.

“Face life’s difficulties and responsibilities.”
