Long lists and stinky trash


Life has a way of unloading its rubbish on us. Your boss expects too much. Your kids whine too much. Trash. Load after load of anger; guilt; pessimism; bitterness; and anxiety. It all piles up! As a result, we must guard our thoughts. 

Today's thoughts are tomorrow's actions. Today's jealousy is tomorrow's hate crime. 

Could that be why Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:5, "Love keeps no record of wrongs"? Paul also says in 2 Corinthians 10:5 that we have a choice: "We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ."

Selfishness, step back! 

Envy, get lost! 

Rather than store up the sour thoughts, store up the sweet ones.  Make a list of God's mercies; the many times he has blessed you…the many times he has forgiven you. 

And you will find your thoughts resulting in happy days.
