Hard Things, a Dallas Willard Quote & Exemplifying True Health
Jul 04, 20241)
The "health & wellness" industry leads many to believe if you are tired or unhappy, you are doing something wrong.
This is a bankrupt way to view life.
Most of life’s most meaningful things are exhausting & bring deep pain into your heart at times.
Parenting, health, faith, marriage, financial, relationships, ministry.
Just because it's hard, doesn't make it wrong.
In fact, if it's hard, you're probably doing it right.

"You must arrange your days so that you experience deep contentment, joy, and confidence in your everyday life with God.”
– Dallas Willard, author & teacher of spiritual formation
3)
True health is best exemplified when it:
- Lifts others up
- Lets others go first
- Lends its strength to others
- Slows down to the pace of others
- Doesn't need the spotlight
- Defers to others
The mark of pursuing true health is when one grows in others-first love.
