Think about It

I don't usually find myself asking people not to believe, but I recently saw a bumper sticker that read:  "Don't believe everything you think".  This prompted me to think and inspired this poem:

Don’t Believe…

Don’t believe everything you think,

Good Advice.  Thoughts can really stink,

Untrue thoughts flood our minds, with regularity,

The idea is to dismiss or refute them with clarity,

Negative thoughts are there to only bring us down,

Remember that you are a child of God, preparing to wear a crown,

Satan is at work; don’t give him a foothold,

Be courageous.  Be confident. Be aware. Be bold.

Don’t believe everything you think,

Your own thoughts can really stink,

Positivity is key to a healthy mental state,

Glass half-full, not half-empty; don’t take Satan’s bait,

He gets in your head to make you feel unsure,

The word of God helps to keep your thinking pure,

Don’t believe everything you think or hear,

It can cause unnecessary doubt and fear,

Keep your thoughts on things that are true,

Phillipians 4:8 spells it out for you,

I’m not just speaking to you, I’m speaking to me,

I will take my own advice… thoughts determine who we can be!
