Thinking.
It is so easy to feel that one is "good enough." Our culture's influence seeps into my thinking more often than I'd like. It is always startling to find I've been thinking incorrectly. Like the thought that I'm a good person, that's good enough. Wow, I know that isn't true. I was a fallen being, a sinner, separated from God. Only knowing Christ and trusting what he has done for me, by his grace am I made clean in God's eyes. That doesn't simply mean coast along through life though. My thoughts are my greatest struggles. I seem to have a constant flow, a never-ending roller coaster of thoughts. Sometimes it doesn't even shut off while I sleep and I dream so vividly. So that may be normal, perhaps for a woman but as a believer there is a place for the Holy Spirit to work in me. " Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking , because you were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful." --Colossians
