The more you think of something, the more it becomes a part of you. In fact, your thoughts set the course for your life. God knows what we&#8217;re thinking, so let&#8217;s focus on things that He wants us to think-things that are noble, pure, trustworthy, admirable\u2026(see Philippians 4:8). And remember, you can choose what you think about. So when the devil tries to interject thoughts in your mind, you don&#8217;t have to just take them.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Dining Room<\/span>: Our Desir<\/strong>es. We need to come to the point where we can say &#8220;God, I only want what You want, and if I&#8217;m asking for something You don&#8217;t want me to have, then don&#8217;t give it to me.&#8221; Our desires can cause the biggest problems in our life-especially when someone else gets something we want. But God wants us to be happy for others when they are blessed and trust that He&#8217;ll do what is best for us at the right time.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Living or Family Room<\/span>: Your Friends<\/strong>. Who are your friends? What do you talk about when you&#8217;re with your friends? I&#8217;m talking here about the people you spend your time with and those you open your heart to. Does your conversation put a smile on God&#8217;s face\u2026or does it grieve Him? Get together with people who love the Word of God and be creative with how you help others. Because there&#8217;s one thing for sure: when you get your mind off yourself and focus on blessing someone else, you&#8217;ll get happier than you&#8217;ve ever been!<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Workroom<\/span>: Your Legacy<\/strong>. Are you bearing good fruit\u2026or are you just taking up space? I encourage you to work with excellence and integrity. When you choose not to gossip at work, waste company time or participate in things that wouldn&#8217;t please Him, then you honor God. And when you honor God, then He will honor you. Remember: We need to do what&#8217;s right because it&#8217;s right, even when no one&#8217;s looking\u2026because God is always with us.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Recreation Room<\/span>: Your Entertainment<\/strong>. Do you let God decide what movies you watch, the music you listen to or the things you read? There is nothing wrong with having a good time, but our choices also need to honor Him. Likewise, we have to be careful about how much time we devote to entertainment. When it takes a stronger priority in our life than it should, there&#8217;s a problem. It&#8217;s not that you can&#8217;t have any fun; you just need to choose what is best for you and is pleasing to God.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Hall, Closet, Attic, Garage or Basement<\/span>: Hidden Things<\/strong>. This is where we hide all those things we don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ll use again, but we hold on to them just in case\u2026things like self-pity or unforgiveness. God dealt strongly with me about self-pity. But even after I officially gave it up, I put it somewhere in that back closet of my life just in case I wanted to have just one more pity party.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800080;\">How about getting rid of everything that&#8217;s not pleasing to God? Only with God&#8217;s Help.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800080;\"> What are you holding onto that needs to go?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To read more, go here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/letting-god-into-every-room-of-your-heart-86706\/\" target=\"_blank\">christianpost.com\/news\/letting-god-into-every-room-of-your-heart<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come away with me Come away with Me It&#8217;s never too late It&#8217;s not too late for you I have a plan for you It&#8217;s gonna be wild it&#8217;s gonna be great it&#8217;s gonna be full of Me Come away with Me It&#8217;s never too late It&#8217;s not too late for you I have a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":16629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4937],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psalms-hymns-and-spiritual-songs","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-5aQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19892"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19892\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19900,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19892\/revisions\/19900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
