Trust the process

I am reading this book by Dr. Kathleen Hall titled A Life in Balance. In this book she talks about the first time she had experienced panic attack which leads to drastic changes in her life. She gives the prescription to nourish the roots of our life, with the acronym S.E.L.F. Serenity, Exercise, Love, Food. The book is really about mind-body health. It is very persuasive and informational but the information is not a novel idea. Jesus taught all these 2000 years ago. I can cite so many examples of this teaching in the bible, but what I really think sums up the whole teaching is the scene where Jesus was hanging on the cross in the middle of the day; hunger eating at him and the people shouting and mocking him, not to mention the excruciating pain of the nails pounded through His wrists. Physically you can see Him almost beaten to a pulp, bleeding externally He was not a sight to see, internally His organs were collapsing and yet in the midst of all that, His soul was at peace. He was still full of love, not hate. How do I know? because He asked for forgiveness for the ones who hurt him.
Nothing and no one impressed Jesus to make him alter his convictions. LOVE hinges the 10 commandments. No greater peace, no greater works, no greater food than the fruits love produces when you exercise it in truth. Without the wisdom of God, we can not truly love.

The Western medical profession has slowly come to understand that the roots of our physical ailments are not poverty or alcoholism. The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. When our heart is right with God, our relationships with His creation; nature and people will work out.
Eastern disciplines have long taught "listen to the inner voice, trust the process" and it will lead you to the authentic you.
Duh? Jesus always said "the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth." So let us not be like Pilate asking - What is truth? while staring at Him.
