Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The mind is a terrible thing to waste, yet we spend an unholy number of neurons on the creation of anxieties and emotions based on falsehoods and ignoble self-deceptions.

Our brains process 74GB of information daily, much of which is phony, false or destructive of character.

And as we allow such thoughts to take root, they choke out the possibility of your internal garden bearing anything of beauty or utility for yourself or those around you.

This verse doesn’t advocate for a Pollyanna view of life through optimistic rose colored glasses. It is more that what you think on, you will become.

The mind creates thoughts the heart will follow and the heart behaves for others accordingly.

My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If you recognize the need to change your mind, allow God to feed that need.

Your heart and relationships will follow suit.
