Open The Door, Grant Permission....

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we open the door, we grant permission. When someone knocks on our door and we open it we are granting permission for them to engage with us. The same could be said for when we open the door to our minds. We wonder sometimes why we struggle with certain issues in our lives. Why depression keeps waying on us or why dreams haunt us or why we simply can't stop thinking negative thoughts. One reason could be that we are opening the door to these things maybe without realizing it. A few years ago I had to get control of my thoughts. Someone preached about rowing your boat back to shore and that struck a chord with me. So I began to watch what thoughts I was having and began to immediately change them if they were negative. It took a while but soon it became a habit. Now, I would like to say that it doesn't happen anymore but being a fleshly human being that may never happen. However, I do have control over my thoughts now and that has made my life much better. It takes discipline and control and then it becomes a habit. We must not open the door and grant permission for things that are destroying us. God provides a way of escape but we have to accept his escape route. Be Blessed!
