Where do your thoughts go?

flowers
flowers from my Forever and Ever, Amen.

Those who are dominated by the sinful nature 
think about sinful things, 
but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit 
think about things that please the Spirit. 
Romans 8:5

Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.
Psalm 4:23

Dear Reader, let's self evaluate. Are our thoughts self pleasing or God pleasing? Are we looking for faults in others, or are we self disciplining ourselves? Are we adding our thoughts and opinions to others social media posts or just taking the words at face value? Are we criticizing or praising? Are we discouraging others or encouraging them? In what situations or with what people do we fail to shine for the Lord? What triggers us into behaviors unbecoming for a Christian? Where can improve? Where do we do well?
