What could you do differently?

View all responses

It takes courage to think differently than your feelings and the people around you. Dare to think beyond your mimicking mind. Without the willingness to think differently you’ll stay stuck in your old thought patterns. If you want to overcome your problems, you definitely have to begin to think differently than the way of thinking that keeps you trapped and entangled in them.

Hindsight can devour you with disappointment or it can empower you to see differently so you can embrace hope for the future. Blame is a blotched-up way of thinking. Think differently and love those who have hurt you.

If you’re unwilling to change how you look at your life, positive changes that you try to make will boomerang back into the past.

Christianity has become
A routine religion
Of simply hearing,
Sitting and listening
Week after week,
But where are the signs
Of Christ appearing
In the hearts of the people?
Where’s the awe,
The tearing,
The repentance,
And the God-fearing?
The end is nearing
But without discipleship
Our ship is sinking
And our faith is
Disappearing.

Think differently. What you see as problems might actually be God trying to get your attention. If you want a more hopeful perspective on life, you have to see things differently. Romans 8:28 helps me do that. Jesus helps me see things differently — in ways that encourage me, not in ways that wear me down.

No matter where you are in your walk with the Lord, there’s more. Never stop growing! Refuse to allow any thought that refuses to obey Jesus and to conform to His will to have any place in your mind. Our human thinking falls far short of producing peace between people and between nations. We need the Prince of Peace for that. Perhaps it would help you to see things differently.
