Ephesians 4:23

"to be made new in the attitude of your minds;"

-Ephesians 4:23

When i think about my own mind… evil men of the past are dwindled in the potential of my flesh. The leaders of the pornographic industry, Hitler, anyone you can imagine; i am the same in thought as them. The only thing that separates us is they actually did it. However, our minds were the same. 

Now after knowing who Jesus Christ is, i still have those thoughts, but i know they are not glorifying to my Creator. Therefore i allow God to dismiss them when they enter into my mind, and that is the difference. My attitude in my mind has changed. Just last night someone said something stupid to me, when they really didn't need to. Instead of retaliating in anger, i went straight to my room to pray. 

I will continue to seek God's direction in such situations. Like my father always tells me, "Don't be wise in your own eyes. Take it to God." If it wasn't for God my attitude would be very unpleasant.
