A Quote Worth Quoting

4/6/2016

There has been a quote flying around our house lately. It is meant to be a reminder, an encouragement. Although we all need to hear it, it seems to hit us ladies the hardest. We all agree with the quote but whoever needs the reminder doesn’t always embrace it right away. The Bible even says something similar, yet we struggle.

The quote is: Don’t believe everything you think.
  • Just because I think my husband is being mean, doesn’t mean he is.
  • Just because I think my child is being lazy, doesn’t mean she is.
  • Just because I think my friend doesn’t care, doesn’t mean she doesn’t.
  • Just because I think my neighbor snubbed me, doesn’t mean he did.  
  • Just because I think I am dumb, fat, lazy, ugly, unskilled…, doesn’t mean I am.
Like the Bible says, “Don’t be wise in your own eyes.” (Prov. 3:7) Seek truth; don’t settle for unsound lies that drag you down. Believe the best and any error is an error in love. Trust the Lord to avenge, don’t be afraid of being wronged. Overlook an offense and seek peace.

Especially when it comes to those closest to us, do not believe those negative thoughts. Our loved ones do not want to purposefully hurt us. Ask them clarifying questions if your interpretation is feeling negative. Believe them and not your own thinking when they say they didn’t mean a comment negatively. The reward is unity.
 
Who would want to divide us? Not the Lord. The evil one is keen on dividing and destroying our relationships. Fight him, not your loved ones.

When it comes to lying to ourselves…Don’t believe everything you think. God has made us in His image. He lives in us. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are not perfect, but we are perfectly loved.

The Lord tells us, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil. 4:13.
It is Satan’s lie that says, “I can’t.” It is through lying to us that he holds us back from what the Lord has for us to do.

“Casting down imaginations”(II Cor. 10:5) sounds a lot like, “Don’t believe everything you think.” “Be alert, the devil is prowling around like lion seeking someone to devour.” (I Peter 5:8) Resist him where all sin starts, in the mind, by not believing everything you think!
