Romans 12:2 (TLB)
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you.
I recently had a conversation with a mom who was telling me about a discussion she had with her 6-year-old daughter. The 6-year-old was trying to find out what was the big deal with “boyfriends and girlfriends”. She went on to ask her mother what was the big thing because as far as she sees it , a boy is a boy and he is her friend so that makes him a boyfriend. She just could not figure out why adults made such a big deal of something so simple.
This got me thinking – at what point do we get stripped of our innocence or us being ourselves. At what point do we open ourselves to the world’s way of thinking and doing things and absorbing negative emotions that sometimes make a simple situation “cloudy”.
It also brought to mind that we are to remove our old way of thinking and return to a newness, a freshness with a renewed perspective. It is hard – I will never pretend it is otherwise – but perhaps if we remember that we were once like this little girl, with unattached negative emotions to our situations and to people, then perhaps we will be able to do the impossible.
Your Affirmation: Smile and Say – I am unattached to negative emotions. My spirit is renewed and today I accomplish the impossible.
Be Blessed on this AWESOME DAY in your Life!
