I've been thinking a lot about thoughts today...
How most of them aren't our own. We got them from somewhere else. Our parents, our friends, what we heard our pastor say, the book we read last week and the movie we watched today. They subconsciously come out of our hearts, spilling over and obvious for everyone to see. Each thought comes into our head and we catch it, thinking it comes from and belongs to us.
But that is not so.
Everything is trying to invade your mind, for it is the single most valuable piece of property you will ever be in possession of, and by it wars are won and lost.
I want to have the mind of Christ. I want to know what He thinks about me. I want to know how He created me to think my own way about the world, how He made me to see His face and know the truth and become free from the light it brings. I want to think with my own thoughts, the ones that come from the truth, not cheap counterfeit that the world tries to peddle like a beggar, not a patched up version of my old mind.
I want to know what it is to have a renewed mind.
And He says He is always making things new...
