God wants to know today what has your attention?
Attention creates access; so If negative emotions have access to your heart is because you gave those emotions your attention. If memories of pain and hurt dominate your thought life is because those memories have your attention.
How can a memory hurt you? "It already happened". It can only hurt you if it has your attention!.
And there are some things you've been giving your attention to that if you would turn your attention from them, you'll take the power from them!
Preaching by Steven Furtick
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24 NIV
“God I know you hear me, even when I can’t express how I feel.”
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord . As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
Matthew 6:22
I still hope that one day, not so far away I’ll become who God wants me to be. That I’ll look back to the person that I’m now and say, this was all a process. That it was all part of God’s plan for me. I hope and believe that who I’m now, will become a testimony to inspire other people’s lives. That God will impact my life so much, that I’ll never be the same. This is what I belive, that not so far away, I’ll become a better daughter/son, a better sister/brother, a better friend a better student and a better leader. I do believe in God’s purpose for me. And no matter how far it seems, he’s timing is Perfect and He will do it as long as I believe.
