Maybe you traveled to see a sick friend, spent time laughing over old memories--thus refreshing your relationship, and left with the warmth of encouraging each other.
We make mind visits as well. We visit memories, and on the day that we visit the most painful ones, we should set a few parameters for our time away.
No random visits. Every visit to painful memory land should happen when time is set aside to visit and recover. The visit is intentional and limited.
No unescorted visits. Always invite God along so He can help you sort through the rubble and thorns and regrets and sadness. God as escort is protection for your tender heart.
No stowaways. When you return from painful memory land to resume your normal activities, do not bring extra weight from the pain just visited. Ask God to check your baggage to make sure you are lighter upon your return.Feeding your strength includes mind strength--it may be the most important facet of your overall power to interact in this world.
We have control over the visits of our mind. Plan carefully and consider your need for a travel agent.
I hear God is the best of the best.
