wanted to shed some encouragement

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2, New International Version)

I walk up and down the hallways of a nursing home with my nursing cart and hear nothing but news programs from all channels for 8-12 hours non-stop and does not matter what shift I am on. I hear the programming talking points- no matter the side of the political coin. I did not even notice this 2 years ago. It’s bizarre how different the words and sounds are when you become aware of the intent.

This verse is extremely relevant in how there is this spiritual pull to blind us from teachings. Most of us do not even know what it feels like to be awake in a spiritual realm. God may not seem real to a lot of folks, but it does make sense in what we have experienced with this movement and how hard the people fighting for power shove down our throats in how to think. Hope is a powerful motivator. I pray every day, “God, I don’t feel like you are real. I can’t feel it, but I know you are. It is not my fault I feel this way. Help pull me closer and strengthen my hope. Guide me closer and remind me not to conform to this world.” I feel like every day I see things in our red-pilled fashion.
