"When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Jesus for a time." (Lk 4:13)
This is a breather! Just like how we sigh (as a form of relief) after battling with the negative thoughts in our minds.
I guess that's the more challenging one... our thoughts - especially negative thoughts controlling our minds. Because, if we let those in, we just have allowed the devil in. again.
Scary huh?
We live in a place where we really have no control of what will happen to us, what other people think of us, how society delimits us... but how we react to every event in our lives makes the difference.
It is actually our response to what life throws at us, that would give us freedom, growth or the opposite.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. - Philippians 4:8
Today, let's purify our hearts and our intentions.
NAMASTE.
true that is indeed very scary to think those negative vibes with us. we just need to breath and be so positive. We need to bring out that attitude to be able to handle problems and nega vibes wisely xx
ReplyDeleteNothing I can add to this very inspiring post. We may not run away from temptations, but the good thing is..the Holy spirit is always there to tell us what is the right and best thing to do.
