I have a confession to make....I'm only on day 3 of my MM&L workbook, while I should be on day 4! Going to catch up this weekend, though! I'm determined. Has anyone had a time describing your thought-closet(The phrases you most often speak to your soul)? Boy...I've discovered...I'm pretty rough on myself! I had such a rough day yesterday after I faced ALL of those old ratty garments I clothe myself in, without realizing it! I read a couple of verses on a new friend's facebook this morning that was encouraging, thought I'd share with you...
"Today above all that I put on, I put on love. I clothe myself with behavior marked by mercy, tender hearted pity, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of myself, gentle ways and patience. I have the power to endure whatever comes with good temper. I am gentle and forbearing with others and, if I have a difference or a grievance with someone: even as the Lord has freely forgiven me, I also forgive others.." Colossians 3:12-14
Standing out the most to me...is putting on love & clothing ourselves with "behavior marked by mercy"...thinking marked by mercy.....Oh, if I could only remember that I have his mercy..that his thoughts (toward me)are higher than my thoughts (about myself).
Here's another...
"You will guard me and keep me in perfect and constant peace as my mind is stayed on You, because I commit myself to You, lean on You, and hope confidently in You....."Isaiah 26:3
Giving God room in my thoughts....Remember the scripture Psalm 10:4 that was mentioned in our homework--"The prideful & wicked do not seek God--there is no room for God in all his thoughts."
Dealing with my clutter, having some revelations.....hope you are too!
