Your life is controlled by your thinking, not by your circumstances. Most of us have made the mistake of believing that our circumstances control us and that we are helpless victims of fate. But this is a lie. If we continue to believe this lie, we will never be free of emotional pain.
The truth is that your life is controlled by the space between your ears. In other words, your life is controlled by how you think and what you believe.
The mind is the control center of our lives. Scripture says, "As a man thinks, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7 TLB).
What are you thinking on a regular basis?
A friend of mine once told me this powerful story about her little son. When he was three years old, she found him staring out the window. She said, "Matt, what are you thinking about?" In the wisdom of children, he replied, "I'm thinking about what I'm thinking about."
Profound advice that we should all take to heart. How often do we think about what we are thinking about? How often do we analyze what we are thinking to determine if it aligns with God's Word or not? If it does not align with God's Word, then it is a lie. And if it is a lie, we must renounce it and replace it with the truth.
We will remain in bondage spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and physically to the degree that we believe a lie. By the same token, we will be free spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and physically to the degree that we know and believe the truth.
The Truth is found in the Holy Bible. The Truth is Jesus Christ. He said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6). He who finds and follows Jesus finds and follows Life.
If you are hurting today in any way--spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, or physically--turn to Jesus Christ and accept Him into your life. When you do, you will be accepting freedom in all of its aspects.
Jesus considered you valuable enough to die for you in order to set you free. But that freedom will never be yours unless you willingly accept His free gift of salvation. Do so now. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
