Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?
However many blessings we expect from God His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor when to God who is the searcher of our hearts all our privacies are open?
Great thoughts and a pure heart that is what we should ask from God.
My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.
Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past which can bridge to the future.
If we examine our thoughts we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.
What matters is to live in the present live now for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists for you created its pattern by your past.
The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true correct and of honor - no matter the personal price.
By action and reaction do we become strong or weak according to the character of our thoughts and mental states. Fear is the deadly nightshade of the mind.
I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I'm with my own thoughts I start to unravel myself and I start to think really dark thoughts self-destructive thoughts.
Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
Have faith in your own thoughts.
You know this is a war of ideology a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust not hope and change.
Should doubt knock at your doorway just say to those skeptical disturbing rebellious thoughts I propose to stay with my faith with the faith of my people.
