       Again, it’s so simple, and I think the easiness of this can make some people think it’s not going to work. If we are observing our thoughts—the thoughts we don’t want and of which we want to go away—if we observe those thoughts and let them pass, they will indeed pass after a brief moment of time. The thought will lighten and go away. This is really important because it is the world who is dominated by thoughts they don’t want to think. Interesting isn’t it? Everyone, no matter who we are, has thoughts they don’t want to think about. We have thoughts we know we shouldn’t think about, and we are told in Scripture the thoughts we should allow to flow freely in our minds—those thoughts which God approves of. To be God’s friend and not his enemy, all of that (really, stop and consider this), all of that comes from our minds. If we allow ourselves to dwell on, contemplate, roll over, consider, and whatever else, those thoughts on regular basis, there is no way on this green earth that we can be pleasing to God, and really be his own that he is proud of.
