Scripture: Philippians 4:8
Thought for the day: " Sip the shame so you won't have to guzzle gallons of unwanted regret."
The devotional talked about when people put a whole heap of hurt on you. The author talked about her daughter's birthday party and how they didn't invite this one girl. The mother of the girl emailed the author and told her she should be ashamed of herself for not inviting the girl. Laying guilt, shame and hurt all over the author.
I've had incidents like that happen to me. I don't like that feeling when people dump all over me and try to make me feel bad. When that happens...my natural and normal reaction is to blow up and retaliate. But...tying into my previous post...I need to make the choice to NOT do that.
I've noticed that these devotionals over the past few days are all along the same line. They flow together rather nicely and just add a little more every day. Because of that, I kinda feel like I'm repeating myself. So bear with me if I do.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble whatever is right,whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Long story short....look for the positive. Look for the good. Stop focusing on the negative. Because your feelings follow your focus.
