We want easy everywhere. We invent gadgets and apps to make life easier. As if easy is what we all need. But ease causes us to grow complacent and weak. We stop using muscles in our body and between our ears and wonder why we are left uneasy?
I saw a bumper sticker recently that read, "Where the Hell is Easy Street?"
Truly like the road to hell that is paved with good intentions so easy street lulls us into a hell of regression, oppression, and depression.
I reject the idea that easy is better and embrace the idea that the difficult moments and people in my life are the ones who build real strength and invite true character to come out of me.
Where in heaven is Difficult Street?
The Calvary Road is the Difficult Street that leads us to heaven.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
