In a recent conversation I suddenly realized…This person has not said one positive or encouraging word much less a positive or encouraging sentence.
Have you been in conversations like that? A conversation in which every flaw is pointed out or every statement you make is debated? Then, before you know it you begin to doubt yourself and even worse, get sucked into the negativity or begin to try to defend yourself…
It was during this recent conversation I snapped and mentally said to myself “Girl, you don’t have to listen to this! God says ___________.” The blank was filled with all the promises God has provided for my life, the blessings He has and is going to pour out on my life, the grace and mercy He has shown to date. Wow…What an enlightening moment! As I am having this epiphany the words of negativity are no longer descernable and I only hear…
“Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah”
It was the coolest thing ever!!! God began to protect my ears from the negativity and allowed my focus to move to Him!!! I choose not to think of the negative, mean, and hurtful things humans may try speak over me, my life, or my family.
Instead I will Think About These Things…
Finally, brothers, 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
Think About It…
