What do you do when trust has been broken?
First of all, don’t believe the lie that will try and creep in
Personally I think it’s just like anything else. You take those thoughts captive. You don’t have control over what the other person has said or done or is going to do.
Philippians 4 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so in directly, yet surely, shape his circumstances. (from the book “As a man thinketh”)
I think about this quote it reminds me that I have a choice. When I have a thought that is not good, at that moment I have a choice. I can either stay in that thought or I can take it captive to the obedience of Christ.
Phil. 4:8 Now let this be your conclusive reasoning: consider that which is true about everyone as evidenced in Christ.
Live overwhelmed by God’s opinion of you!
Acquaint yourselves with the revelation of righteousness; realize God’s likeness in you. Make it your business to declare mankind’s redeemed innocence. Think friendship. Discover how famous everyone is in the light of the gospel; mankind is in God’s limelight! Ponder how elevated you are in Christ. Study stories that celebrate life. The Mirror
How much simpler would life be if you were able to consistently take every negative thought captive? To constantly think and be overwhelmed about how God thinks about you. Nothing could stop you.
Let a man cease from his sinful thoughts, and all the world will softened towards him, and be ready to help him. James Allen
Walk in peace today. When a man makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food.
Matthew 6.6
