Philippians 4:8 NLT: “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”
Here are a couple of my favorite sayings:
#1 “If you’re doing THIS, you’re not doing THAT!” Oftentimes the answer to getting one’s life in order is not to concentrate on all the bad stuff you want to eliminate. A better solution is to fill up your life with good stuff! If your calendar is 100% full of loving the Lord and loving others, you’ll no longer have time for the things that were problems.
#2 is similar: “If you’re in HERE, you’re not out THERE!” If you’re in good places – helping out at church, the food bank, the youth center, etc. – you’re surrounded with good people doing good things, and avoiding situations that used to be problematic.
So fill your life up with good stuff and surround yourself with good friends. It’s a choice you can make every day to add hope to your life!
Blessings and safety today!
