wandering thoughts

I have a tendency to look at myself far too much. Getting ready in the morning would be so much quicker if I wasn't looking at myself so much and making faces. (This is totally the truth... mirrors are far more entertainment to me than they should be!) But in the deeper sense I look at myself far too much rather than looking to Christ. I get inward focused asking questions such as: "Why do I feel this way?" "Why do I react this way?" These are not bad things in themselves to ask but I have a tendency to do a little too much internal processing. This can quickly become a dangerous cycle because when left alone with our thoughts they quickly can be twisted into little lies we believe about ourselves or others, we can tend to wallow in our own bitterness or self-pity and usually end up feeling very self-focused rather than Christ and others focused. It's so easy to get wrapped up in our own feelings about something instead of focusing on the truth we know we can run to in Jesus word. {Side note - wrestling through issues is different than wandering thoughts... wrestling through issues is a really good thing for all of us to do, making sure to seek wise council in the process!} "Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely." - Robert Murray McCheyne 2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
