Dirty Windows

Our mind can be a very dangerous place to inhabit. Emotions from past experiences quickly find comfort in our head as if it were a playground created to toil with your hearts. Hurt/Pain will take up residency and try to dictate your current life if it is not dealt with properly. This is where we must find truth to what is playing around in our heads. Yes, many of us have had situation in our lives where some sort of pain was created. Is that pain real? Absolutely! Does it get to dictate who we are? Not even for a second!

Your belief system wants to convince you that what you believe is true. If you grew up believing you were inadequate, your belief system will create a world in your mind to validate that belief. The way you hear things, the way you interpret a conversation, or even the way someone is correcting you, is all tainted by the lie you believe in your head. For instance, it’s like looking through a dirty window; you never truly see the beauty because the dirt taints it. But if you took a moment and wiped away the debris that has been built up over time, you would find that the very thing you are looking at is beautifully clear and without distraction.

It’s time to clean the window, and allow God to take up residency in your mind. Never forget, “Lies aren’t the truth even if you believe them!” Old belief systems will paralyze your present life if you allow them too.
