"When you think healthy thoughts, not only do you improve your health, but you also impact the health of those around you"
"What we choose to think about and how we act on those thoughts and feelings has a massive impact on the quality of our lives "
Dr Caroline Leaf (who researches the human brain!)
"You shouldn't believe everything you tell yourself. Feelings aren't facts"
Rick Warren
"Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality" Nicky Gumbel
I read all these inspirational thoughts from other Christians on Twitter...and thanked God for them , because they encouraged, helped and challenged me especially in my thought patterns.
Sometimes we just need to speak out truth.
To speak it out loud to ourselves.
To speak it out so that we start to believe it, so that the truth overwhelms the doubts and fears.
I had a hard day last week. A day where I felt full of fear.
I chose to say out loud the promises of God ,verses in the Bible that I know, and lines from worship songs.
Speaking the truth to myself wasn't easy, and it wasn't a "magic wand". But speaking (the truth) to myself made me stronger - I pray it makes you stronger too.
2 Tim 3 v 15-17 There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.
