Mind and Soul

Mind: Hi Soul wazzuupp? You’re looking a bit gloomy, today.
(imagining the voice of Annoying Orange ;) http://www.youtube.com/user/realannoyingorange#p/search/0/cL_qGMfbtAk)

Soul: yep, this isn’t fun, I just think it sucks and I’m goanna be grumpy forever ‘cause … life is hard … God doesn’t make sense to me and anyways what’s the purpose of all of this? I want to be grumpy and downcast forever.

Mind: WHAT?!!! Are you out of your Mind? - Ups, that’s me.

Soul: right Mind, where have you been? You seemed to be pretty occupied but I haven’t gotten much input from you.

Mind: Sorry! Yes, I guess I was occupied but not prepared for action.
Ok, first let me tell you: you do not WANT to be grumpy forever, believe me there's no benefit in that, and even more importantly, you really don’t have enough reason to just be depressed.

Soul: Huh? Mind, did you forget?

Mind: No, I know what you’re talking about; you haven’t been talking about anything else for 3 weeks. But it seems you are forgetting something much more important.
Do you remember HIS benefits? HE -I’m talking about God- forgave you all your sins. Do you get that? Don't just take it for granted, it's amazing. 

And then, HE heals you, everything broken in you he is going to restore. He redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with his love and compassion.
And all that you miss so much, all that you desire, HE will satisfy them with good things
 (Psalm 103:3-5).      Got it?
