Every day, we have to watch out for what I call “danger zones.” It is common knowledge that our thoughts become actions, and the words we speak can damage the soul of another. A computer is very much like our mind – garbage in, garbage out. Immediately when we think something that is along the lines of anger, jealousy, greed, etc., we need to catch ourselves and make a conscious effort to change that thought. The enemy is busy trying to cause damage in the homes in today’s world, so remember it is in your mind that he places all kinds of thoughts, just like he did with Eve in the Garden of Eden.
It’s not just our thoughts, though. We have to remember that our value and self-worth as Christians are not defined the same way as they are out in the world. It is not our checkbook, our figure, the car we drive that truly defines us.
What defines us is that we are God’s children.
Don’t let the world tell you that you aren’t good enough; just remember ~ Jesus died on the cross because He thought you were special. That’s where your true worth lies.
Last thought of the day ~ when you think someone else’s business is your business, erase that thought too!!! It isn’t our place to judge others and whether someone is saved or not. If someone doesn’t believe exactly like you or act the way you think they should, that’s Jesus’ business, not yours. Keep it to yourself, and if it really bothers you – PRAY ABOUT IT!! Don’t Facebook it! Let Jesus take care of His business; He sure doesn’t need our help. Now, I’m not saying we shouldn’t be concerned with others and speak to them personally if we have prayed about it and think we should. What I am saying is that we shouldn’t be posting all of this on Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else. That in itself is wrong. Jesus did tell us to pull the log out of our own eye first. All in all, the point I am trying to make is we need to make sure our words and actions are being a witness and not a warning to others.
This is DeVaughn ~ bringing it home.
