Who Lives in Our Minds?

The Bible talks about mediocre spiritual life.

In the Jewish tradition, it is yetzer hara, the wayward heart.

The goal is to have a mind in which God is present

and gradually crowds out every distorted belief,

every destructive feeling, every misguided intention.

We know our minds are increasingly "set on God"

when the moods dominating our inner life are

love, joy and peace - primary components of the fruit of the Spirit.
