That’s a beautiful thought. It echoes the gospel's heart. God calls us to cultivate love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control.Can a person who leans heavily on psyche have helpful intentions for people if they aren’t considerate of another’s emotional sensitivity?
A person without consideration of psyche doesn’t think things through very deeply. A person without consideration of emotion doesn’t feel for others.
The majority of people have both but are deficient in both, I think. That’s why they say people of average intelligence thrive better than highly intelligent people. They’re the middle managers and bureaucrats mostly - the wheels in the machinery. They don’t question much and don’t feel much and are fine with it. Those who do, hate being in those roles. Drudgery. I met creative types slogging it out in office jobs. Not where they were most needed. I could probably say the same about myself. I lack the confidence and the criticism doesn’t help.
What if we cultivated the best of human emotion and thought instead of encouraging the worst (most damaging)?
When we nurture humanity's best, we're tending the Spirit's garden within us.
Let's encourage compassion. Forgiveness. Wisdom.
It’s about letting Christ change us, redeeming even our pain into empathy. Our doubts into faith.
