Transformation

"We can't transform ourselves. We are transformed by God. Our part is changing what we think about. Then transformation happens." John Maxwell

It is catching those negative thoughts....those destructive thoughts...those selfish thoughts...those thoughts that my agenda is the only way... thoughts that my needs and comfort are more important than others....thoughts of pride...critical and judgmental thoughts....
It is recognizing those thoughts upon entry in our minds, unwrapping them from their attractive disguise and banishing them into a black hole of nothingness. Don't let them sit in our minds for more than a moment or they may just think they are invited to stay. If they think they are invited to stay they just might take root and wind themselves around other thoughts and attitudes....and before long transformation is no longer the goal.....self is.
