Think Happy

When I have changed my mind (repented), I need to fill my mind with the right things. What should I think about? What should concern me?

When I have learned something, I need to put it into practice. Life with Jesus, our Master, is not an exercise in intellectual gymnastics. Thinking the right things and doing the right things makes everything work together. It creates an amazing harmony.

God has a goal from me. It is transformed thinking and acting on love.

Here is a wonderful list of things to think about:

What is true
What is noble
Who is reputable
Who is authentic
What is compelling from Jesus
What it takes to be gracious
What is the best
The beautiful things in life
Things to praise

Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
