Thoughts [3.20.09]

1. I've been really happy recently. Wait, maybe joyful is more like it. Or perhaps positive?

2. No matter how much I struggle, no matter how many times my hand slips away, no matter how many times I turn away, He never lets go. When I'm happy and forget about Him, He's still there. When I'm beating at my chest and cursing the heavens, He's still there. When I'm broken and have given up, He's still there. What a wonderful God we have.

3. Just reminded of the Renovation: Mind series. I need to remember to filter what I let enter my mind. Whether it be images of excessively physically attractive women, blood guts and gore, or the temptations of the world, let's be sure to filter things out so that our minds may be pure and our thoughts pleasing to God.

4. If I had read this post a year ago, I would ask my future me why I only focused on "spiritual" issues when I write rather than just everything on my mind. Then I realized that this is predominately the stuff that does go on in my mind. Hallelujah, maybe I just leveled up.
