“Listing What You Have: Internalize the attitude that regardless of how many things you do not have, you can still be happy and grateful if you keep your focus on what you do have. Make a list of possessions, talents, and good qualities you have and whenever you catch yourself becoming obsessed with something you lack, review your list.” IfsStillsAttitudeQualityFocusTalentBecomingGratitudeGratefulPossessionListsObsessedReviewsGood QualityHappy And Grateful Author:Zelig Pliskin
“Jesus expressed intense anger toward those who where immoral, such as the self-righteous Pharisees, but he never suggested that they were demonized. Toward the demonized, however, he never expressed anger; rather he exhibited only compassion. As Langton notes, "Pity rather than anger characterizes the attitude of Jesus toward the possessed...He treats them as if they were the victims of an involuntary possession." Indeed, he treats them as though they are casualties of war. For, in his view, this is precisely what they are.” IfsWarSelfJesusViewsAttitudeCompassionTreatsVictimNotesPossessionIntensePityRighteousPossessedImmoralCasualtiesSelf RighteousInvoluntaryPharisees Book:God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict Source: God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict
