A Mind Is A Terrible Thing to Be Left Un-Reconciled

“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”  Abraham Lincoln

This is true.  We can control our minds even though at times it takes a valiant effort. When left out of control our minds can slip into all forms of deviousness.  God has gifted us with the ability to control our minds.  At times that is all we can do.  All our conscious efforts are spent making our minds do, think and allow us to be what we desire and what pleases God.  A mind left to its own devices can linger into many a bad thing.  So be on your guard.  Guard your heart and your mind.  It makes me think of the verse, “We are Christ’s Ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us.  We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”  Sometimes we are ambassadors to ourselves forcefully reminding our mind, “BE RECONCILED TO GOD!”
