Taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. We need to think in a way that honours him.
My thoughts are not always God honouring, I am; as most of us are; selfish, proud and jealous. To name a few of the sins I struggle with daily. But by his power we overcome.
Today I want to focus on one thought I am overcoming and one thing I have chosen to think differently about.
When friends of mine get together; have children; get married; receive flowers... my heart hurts a little. My friends seem to receive all my heart deepest desires so effortlessly.
My thoughts can be, 'why not me?' 'am i forgotten?' 'undeserving?' 'is my body going to age too much for me to have children?' 'all the good men are taken,' 'it is hopeless,' 'how am i ever going to meet anyone now?'
The thoughts I am now choosing are these; that if God can provide an amazing Godly man for my friend, then he can do that for me, if it is his will to do so. God created my body and if he has promised me children and all things are possible for him no matter how old I get.
God is the same, yesterday, today and forever, he has done many miracles before and will continue to. He can provide for me in every way.
I am attempting to read and know God's word, in such a way that I know the truth and it can set me free and transform my life. I am choosing faith that says if God can do that for them he can do that for me, as opposed to the jealousy that God in me finds so ugly.
This simple choice is bringing me joy and changing my life in the everyday.
