Last One Picked

Finally, brothers and sisters, 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 

Do you ever feel left out? Maybe no one likes you? Perhaps as a child you were always selected last when teams were chosen. Maybe in your mind you conjured up scenarios that never really existed and thought people were thinking certain things they really weren't. It is essential to get control of your thought life. Your mind sort of controls everything. One thing to really get a handle on is basing your worth on Facebook likes. If you do this, or spend entirely too much time on Facebook,perhaps it is time to give this social media site a rest. 

What we dwell on in our mind is critical. If you have a habit of watching TV news then you may become fearful. If crime dramas are your forte, then you may go to bed stressed. What we watch enters into our subconscious mind and can shape us whether we think it does or not. 

God loves you my friend. His love for you is unconditional. Sure you may do things to break His heart every now and then but He would for sure pick you to be on His team, He already has! Have you made Jesus first place in your life? 

PRAYER: I choose to start basing my worth on you Lord and not what people think of me or who likes me and who does not. You alone are worthy to be praised and I thank you for all the goodness you have brought into my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
