Illusion: something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.
I feel like today I got smarter than all those people who called me disillusioned like it was a bad thing.
I agree that disillusioned can also mean to be in a state of disenchantment & dissapointments, but that is not me.
I fight illusion daily, & I know I'm not alone. I have this crazy illusion that 'it's easier for everyone else' but disillusion reminds me EVERYONE has a cross to bear, & if you can eat donuts & not gain weight, or drink ONE glass of wine with dinner, you ENJOY tucking your kids in at night, then that doesn't make your reality better than mine, it just means your cross is different than the one I carry. And as I exercise my perspective, I realize in bearing my OWN cross, I find joy that He is expressing a part of Himself through my life. Today it is endurance.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne." Hebrews12:1-2
