And be constantly
renewed in the spirit of your mind and having a fresh mental and spiritual
attitude. Ephesians 4:23
I know that God has entered my life and in doing so, has
renewed my mind and attitude; if this were not so, I would not be capable of
making the right decisions. I know that
love is not just a feeling, but a choice that I make. I believe this is why so many marriages come
to an abrupt end after so many years.
People are trying to re-capture that initial feeling of falling in love
again and will look to find it with someone else rather than their spouse.
When someone has made me angry or upset, I can choose to
dwell on it in my mind and think of all of the negative things I’d like to say,
or I can choose to think positive thoughts towards that person. I always seem to feel better when I choose
the latter.
It’s when we come to that place in our minds where we think
good thoughts that opens the door for God to work His good and perfect plan
into our lives. We must learn to allow
the Holy Spirit to help us break our old patterns and replace them with new
ones.
Thinking good thoughts isn't always easy, but as we do, we
begin to have a change of heart and attitude towards other people and our
relationships will also change for the better in the process.
