Our lives are full of choices.
We have the full ability to make those choices and even think for ourselves – God’s Word tells us to set our mind on things above and not on earthly things.
Think about it – the fact that we’re told to “set our mind” simply means, we have the choice to choose the things we should focus on, and no, it doesn’t mean negative thoughts won’t come our way.
If that were the case – there’d be absolutely no need for us to consciously choose His way of thinking.
Bottom line – our thoughts are totally determined by us. So, being armed with this knowledge along with a firm commitment to exercise our own mind – we’re ready to roll.
Each time a thought pops up that doesn’t align with His Word, we’ll simply make the choice to throw it to the way side, and simply – keep moving.
It’s not always easy – life can sure throw it’s punches, however- it’s vital for our own well being that we fight off any and all negativity that comes our way.
It’s when we don’t give up that we’ll find the fruit of this process – we’ll find ourselves responding to the circumstances we face with strength, faith and confidence.
All because our mindset is constantly being renewed.
We are loved by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes – love wins period.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:12
