CONTROL OUR THOUGHTS
We are all plagued by
unwelcome, ofttimes harmful, thoughts, a condition we tend to take for granted.
Presumably, in the belief
that “this is the way it is; it is just human nature,” all too few take the
time to consider, and to question this phenomenon; one both harmful and wrong.
Thought is but a phantom of
the mind, having its origin in the brain. It is common knowledge that the
brain, in turn, is a highly malleable human organism: It has the potential to
generate those thoughts we ourselves will. Herein lies the key.
We can, and we must, control
our thoughts if we are to know and enjoy any measure of our God-given humanity.
Possessed of the inborn
power to control our thoughts, we must be ever vigilant, ready to dismiss from
the mind unwelcome and harmful thoughts. Strange as it may seem, this is
brought about by our simply introducing into the mind an uplifting thought:
“Thank you, God,” for example. Already we feel better.
