PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

By Angela Miles

Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Renewed thinking takes practice. It takes having many conversations with yourself to ensure that you are not only stating your worth but believing it. Every day, you must remind yourself of your value, your worth. Every day, you must walk a little more confidently in God’s truth of who you are. Putting that truth into words and actions on a daily will begin to change how you think about and see yourself. Will there be days when the old lies try to creep in? Of course, those days will come, but you will be able to combat them with truth.

Remind yourself of how strong you are. Remind yourself of how important you are to God. Remind yourself that you have authority over your thoughts so you no longer have to accept the lies of your past.

Think on things that bring you peace. Think on things that bring you joy. Think on ways to bring joy to someone other than yourself. Purpose each day to find something about yourself that you like. This is renewed thinking. Renewed thinking removes thoughts that lead to spiritual and possible physical death and replaces them with thoughts that lead to a definite spiritual and physical joy-filled life. Just something to think about.

I’m just saying…!
