Think About What You Think About

The way we think paints a picture in our minds.  Second Corinthians 10:5-6 tells us to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.  In other words, we need to think the way Jesus thinks.  Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things."

If our thoughts do not line up with the Scripture, we have to change the way we are thinking.  Unfortunately, many Christians see a wrong and distorted picture of themselves because they have accepted the wrong "negatives" of their parents, teachers, friends, spouse, or even from Satan.  They have believed a lie about themselves and need to change the way they think to the way God thinks about them.  He sees them as His Beloved, the Righteousness of Christ, Forgiven, Cleansed, a Mighty Warrior, and His Masterpiece.

We need to see ourselves the way God sees us so we can love ourselves and love others.

So, stop and think about what you think about.

Be blessed,
