There's an old saying that goes, "You are what you eat," which simply means that if you eat "unhealthy foods" you'll be unhealthy, and vice versa. And certainly, there is some truth to that. You can't continue to eat fast food every meal, topped with a large bowl of ice cream every night and expect that your body isn't going to change. Oh, it will.
The opposite is also true to a point. If you eat good foods, salads, low carbs, drink lots of water, etc., you should find yourself in better health. However, we all experience health issues from time to time that have very little to do with our lifestyles. But, I digress and need to get back on point...
Today's word is an anonymous quote I came across that reminds me that we are what we take in: "Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it Faith. Feed it Truth. Feed it Love."
I have shared before that "Trash In = Trash Out". There are no two ways about it; if you continue to put bad things in, you will eventually get bad things out. We can't continue to feed our minds things that are contradictory to what we know is true because, if we do, we will eventually start to believe and, then, release, what we have supplied. Our minds, much like our savings account, can only withdraw what has been deposited.
We seem so focused on making sure we everything we can to take care of our bodies, which is absolutely the best thing to do, and, I believe, scriptural. We should also do the same for our minds. If we want to bring good things from our mind, we have to put good things into our minds: Trash in = Trash Out.
The next time you sit down at your computer, to watch television, to listen to others, remember that just like our bodies, our minds also operate on the principal that you are what you eat.
Be Blessed,
