Influence Your Thoughts: Is It a Weed or Is It a Flower?

Each day we get to choose.

Is whatever that lies in front of us a devastation or an opportunity?

Life is so hard sometimes, but there is so much power in your mind. God designed you so intricately that the things you say and dwell upon within your own mind set you up for how you will filter your moments. Is this ___ another frustrating obstacle along your dusty, tiring road OR is ___ an opportunity for your faithful God to carry you and teach you something along this adventurous journey called today?

Is it a weed, or is it a flower?

Like children plucking a vibrant dandelion to bring to our parents as a gift of beauty, let’s choose to see more “flowers” than “weeds.”

Thinking this way may not change your actual circumstances, but a weed-eyed-approach won’t either. At least when you see the flowers you can focus on what’s lovely and fill your mind with hope… that’s a much more beautiful space to rest within.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”‭‭ Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Is it a weed or is it a flower?

Let’s think well.
