Don’t you love to hear good things?
God reminds us to think on things that are honest, lovely, pure, and of good report.
Why?
Because they are an oasis in our minds.
When we think on lovely things, whether it be amazing situations that has happened to us, or the beautiful places that we saw, or the loving people that are in our lives, it is a like a mental scrapbook, causing us to remember, and to hence realize now, that if those wonderful things happened once before, they can and will happen again in our lives.
It is a reminder to us that if we are currently experiencing bad circumstances, that they are only temporary… that this too will pass… and to not let those bad circumstances rule over our thoughts and over all that has been good in our lives.
Thinking on lovely and good things is like chicken soup to our mind. It is the reset button. It helps us to recover when bad circumstances have happened, to give us hope and a renewal to try again.
What are you thinking about right now?
Is it good, honest, just, pure, lovely, praiseworthy, or virtuous?
Think on these things and watch the amazingly good things come into your life and change your life for the better.
