One of my most treasured items currently is a card I received from family members at my last birthday. It has an ornate tree on the front and inside it are the words of Psalm 1 from the old King James Version. The card has pride of place on my window sill at work where I can frequently reflect on its meaning. The first psalm is clearly in the group of my favourites-and for so many reasons. But recently I was awoken with thought in my mind toward the importance of inputs in life; and there are two sorts of inputs I believe this psalm refers to.

One of my most treasured items currently is a card I received from family members at my last birthday. It has an ornate tree on the front and inside it are the words of Psalm 1 from the old King James Version. The card has pride of place on my window sill at work where I can frequently reflect on its meaning. The first psalm is clearly in the group of my favourites-and for so many reasons.

For the already-successful and happy person living a busy life. It doesn't matter how happy you already are. Every human constantly strives for something more in life, and more often than not, even the richest working professionals will attest that no matter the success, they still feel a gap within them that their big salary cannot fill.

Obviously, the incredibly positive and life-giving thought comes in verse 2, where 'the LORD's Torah' is the believer's delight and they utter and murmur it continually. The blessed one is set apart not by social status, or necessarily by behaviour, but by attitude and by what draws their attention. And, 'the Law' is frequently misunderstood. It's deeper, thicker and richer than anyone can assimilate in any one helping, or even over an entire lifetime. We can't put a 'neat' construct around it.

For the person who has been hurt many times in life. Everyone carries some hurt in one way or another. Life is never perfect, and so you are bound to experience something painful at some point in your life. When you do, sometimes it can be hard to recover. Spiritual healing is needed so that you can move on, because in order to forgive the people you have wronged you, you may first need to forgive yourself.

Healing your soul spiritually means accepting what the past has taught you and how it has treated you so that you can move on without feeling the same amount of pain that you used to feel every time you remember what happened to you.

The tragic truth is; that is not the church of Jesus Christ, and that type of thinking will do no-one any good once this life is over. What we believe and why we believe it is vital. John realised that, and so he writes, and this is one reason why we have turned to the Gospel of John.
