DWELL ON THESE THINGS

Put a stop to negative self-talk and learn to see yourself through God's eyes by
spending 31 days feeding your heart a new, biblical message of encouragement.

Countless messages enter our hearts and minds each day. Some of these messages are true and helpful. Others are hurtful, destructive, and out of line with the message God wants us to understand and embrace. What messages are you choosing to believe and repeat to yourself? When you first saw your reflection in the mirror this morning, what did your internal conversation sound like? What difference do you believe it could make if you spent the next 31 days dwelling on what God wants you to hear and what He has already told you in His Word?

What if you focused on truths like these:
You are loved more deeply than you typically realize
Your trials can be an occasion for joy
Your mind can dwell on God's kindness toward you
You can bear with the weaknesses, preferences, and maturity level of others
You can rely on God's love

Let this be your first step in a great journey toward self-love and self-acceptance.
