Where Did That Come From?

Every time we see a rat or a roach or some other creepy crawler in our homes or offices, we ask ourselves, ‘Where did that come from?’

                We search and when we do find their points of entry, we close it up immediately to avoid further ‘confrontations’.

                So it is with us. When we see ourselves doing things we never imagined we could do, the same question comes to mind… Where did that come from?

                The truth is that you’ve had it in you. Subtly, it came as a thought either from interaction or as mere imagination. No matter the means, it all started in the mind and over time we fed it until it came to manifestation.

                “We can’t stop a bird from flying over our heads but we can stop it from building a nest on our heads” (Martin Luther King Jr.). We can’t stop ourselves sometimes from hearing or seeing certain things. But we can stop ourselves from feeding those thoughts… And what doesn’t get fed dies!

                Remember, it’s a game of the mind but we can always say NO (Songs of Solomon 2:15). Good luck!
