If we are not careful the fears and anxieties of tomorrow can steal the joy of today. Jesus’ antidote for a life burdened by the shame and guilt of our past and the fears to tomorrow is the discipline of mindfulness. A mind and heart set on living today with the confidence that our past mistakes have been atoned for and our future provided for by a loving God. But make no mistake, this is no wishful thinking. There will be trouble ahead, but with the trouble, God will give us his all-sufficient grace to face it one step and day at a time.
