Thoughts!
Have you ever had your thoughts together, where you were
heading in a good direction? You were
focused, working a goal and feeling enthusiastic and optimistic! Then your path crosses with someone who is
usually up beat and a pleasure to have a conversation with and seemingly out of
nowhere; they are spewing negativity and blaming others. It is obvious to you that they had something
going on that they needed to work on. They weren’t willing to consider that
they have a problem and perhaps not someone else!
Well for me after this encounter I felt a bit down and a
bit sorrowful for them. I can’t afford
to allow someone else’s negativity distract me and put me in a funk of some
kind. The Holy Spirit reminded me of
this scripture:
Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect,
whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or
praiseworthy, think about these things. And what you learned and received and
heard and saw in me, do these things. And
the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9 NET Bible
We must protect our peace of mind and think on the things
mentioned in this scripture and not allow distractions and disruptions disturb our focus! Whew, glad to shake off the negativity!
Until next time love
and peace J <3
