Taking all thought captive…

Sins are the things that we do - the wrongs we commit to ourselves or others. Traumas are the sins that other people inflict on us and the scars that they leave behind; emotionally, psychologically, or physically. Many times it is our lack of understanding of these differences that causes a skewed view of how we see ourselves or others. As we wrestle with these skewed thoughts inwardly we begin a pattern of self-deception, self-condemnation, and negative self-talk, and we tend to lose our boundaries in the process. Not everything is your fault.

The things that are our fault we should own and challenge ourselves towards change. For the things that are not our fault, we need to find the road of truth, self-forgiveness, the forgiveness of others, and finally how to let go and move on.

These things our challenging if we have had the wrong outlook for many years but it is not impossible to reframe your thinking and walk in the peace that Jesus died on the cross to give to you. Repentance is changing how you think, which changes how you act. We must also remember the call that God has on our lives and how He is teaching us what is true.

3 For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, 4 since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ. 6 And we are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Begin today! Challenge your thoughts don’t allow them to run rip shod over your existence. We create our world with our words which begin as thoughts. God loved you enough to leave Heaven to make a way for you to be saved. He would not have done so if He did not think that you were worthy of the trip.
