been reading elizabeth george's loving God with all your mind for the past week. a healthy thought life comes out of a close relationship with God. and once we determine on what is truth and fact, we then can function according to these facts rather than feelings or fantasies. same as, trying hard to function while having a cold or fever is useless cos we all know how limited we can be when we're not healthy. same thing happens in the spiritual realm. like a virus, our thoughts have the ability to drain our energy and disable our thoughts.
i fight battles everyday, waking up from the comfortable bed, to refraining from watching my late night tennis matches to stop snacking to logging off from the msn to reading His word. but one that can really cripple me actually comes from the mind. pessimistic or negative. i believe that the one from below input many thoughts. subtle ones to strong hints, but both just as false as that fella himself.
like our relationship with God, our ownselves, and with others, all needed to be guided by phil 4:8 (kjv) whatsoever things are true... think on these things women (who tends to be more sensitive) who thinks on what is real, do not spend time analysing or guessing what others are thinking or saying or showing. such thoughts do extreme damages that we may even not notice. by guessing often involves interpreting and this often leads to distorting words and actions of others. and while trying to read into other's words/actions rather than accepting what they do at face value, we're indirectly thinking that the person is a liar. as long as the thought is unhealthy aka negative. quit it immediately. but ask yourself. what is true?
so how do we love God with our mind? choosing to trust what the bible reveals about God and asking Him to replace any fears, doubt, anxiety with the truth from the WOG. the bible teaches about His love, wisdom,patience, forgiveness, redemption and ultimate victory - speaks directly to our concern about the past, present and future because of God's constant and unconditional love for us.
