Thought for the day

"We are called creatures of habit for a very good reason - we are.

• It takes times to develop bad habits or poor communication skills.
• It takes time to become impatient with others.
• It takes time to become insensitive to the needs of others.

Over time we become reactive and defensive. Sometimes the conditions and circumstances around us, mold us into who we are, by default.

Why is there so much apathy and unbelief in our country? Because many of us have allowed our culture, our environment, the media, politics, the faithless and powerless to mold us. Sometimes we become who we are by default.

God-thinking works to rebuild (every thought that became part of who you are, by default) by re-creating the way you think.
