I CREATED YOU IN MY IMAGE--with the amazing capacity to communicate with Me. As My image-bearer, you are capable of choosing the focus of your mind. Many of your thoughts come and go unbidden, but you can control them more than you realize. The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write, "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right...think about such things." I wouldn't instruct you to think in this way unless it was possible for you to do so.

Because the world contains both good and evil, you can choose to focus on excellent, praiseworthy things or on terrible, upsetting matters. Sometimes you have to deal with the brokenness around you, but each day offers moments when you are free to ponder pure, lovely things. When your mind is idle, it often moves toward a negative focus--regretting things in the past, worrying about the future. Meanwhile, I am with you in the present, waiting for you to recall My Presence. Train yourself to turn toward Me frequently. This brightens even your hardest times, increasing your joy.

　

So God created mankind in His own image,
in the image of God He created them;
male and female He created them.

Genesis 1:27

　

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Philippians 4:8

　

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."

Matthew 1:23 (NKJV)

　

You have made known to me the paths of life;
You will fill me with joy in Your presence.

Acts 2:28
