Do, Think, Feel

Walking through the house staring at every wall i pass by kind of reminds me of places i have been before. Its like i pass those walls daily but it seems that every wall has some sort of story, some sort of memory that occurred in front it. Its like that familiar place that we have visited often and thought that maybe we wouldn't see this place again but somehow we keep finding ourselves right back where we began. We then ask our self, "what did i do to get here" but often times its nothing you did but rather something you thought or felt.

There was a young man who often found himself right back in situations that he had thought he bypassed years ago. It seemed like when he would have his back against the wall, he would look at the entire picture, figure out the lesson God wanted him to learn and then he would walk away from it. He assumed that he was able to overcome the situation with action. Its like, if your car is running bad. You can feel the difference in the ride and the "check engine light" flashes. You hook the vehicle up to the machine to check the problem...you find the problem and fix it. The vehicle is back running great but for some reason the check engine light just will not go off. Many of us are "running well" but we still have that check engine light on.

Many of us find our self back in the same area of trial, not because of our our actions but because of how we THINK and FEEL. OK, lets dissect this for a minute. You could always have a great job and financial obligations are met on time but so some reason your social and romantic life is a constant struggle. Maybe you are known by many people, popularity level is at an all time high but their is a sense of discomfort you feel in environments where you are suppose to feel the comfort. In this case that I'm speaking of (that relates to the two i just stated) its that area of pain or physical burden. Maybe you cant keep a car, a job, a mate, a friend, a house or something that would seem to make life a but more comforting for you.

You began to ask God, "what did i do"? God never reveals to you anything because its not something you may have done but something you thought of felt.

Being vain or vague, requires not only a belief that you are one of the best things physically that has happened to the earth but it also has a thought and feel that comes along with it. People often say, "when i look good i feel good"...may be true but sometimes you can feel that you look too good and feel too good about it. Because you may understand at some point that its unattractive and you calm it down, but the "thought" and "feel" may still be very much alive.

So as it relates to circumstance, you may not be demonstrating the action of such things but the thought and feel may still be alive which is more painful and deadly. A person can THINK themselves into a sickness. A person can feel themselves into pain. Its the thought process that often tells us that we "can't" or "not now". Its often the feeling area that reminds us "no this is the way they meant it" or "they don't care about you like you do". It forces us to become more of an individual rather than a active member of society...in every way.

As it relates to scripture, Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed but the renewal of your MIND, that by testing you may DISCERN what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

So understand that you may be falling in the same areas because your mind and heart is not right. Maybe you haven't forgiven some one for something and want God to forgive you. Maybe you "feel" someone thinks or feels a certain way about you so you act a certain way towards them, but you never had a conversation so you don't really know....reaction to no action. If our minds and hearts have the power to heal and fix, it most definitely have the power to restore.

Ask God to press the reset button on your heart and mind. Ask God to give you a heart after his own heart and a mind that's renewed and discerning. Because, although you may no feel you have something wrong, your check engine light may still be on...there is still some maintenance there that needs to be fixed.

And if by any chance you are reading this and life is great and perfect...i challenge you to ask God to show you your heart and mind...you may be surprised but the response.
