What we give our attention to
The apostle Paul invites us to be intentional about what we dwell on. The conversations we replay and the stories we tell ourselves can shape how we see people and how we respond to them. Giving our attention to what is true and good helps us act with wisdom and love.
This can begin with something as simple as questioning an assumption. If someone hasn’t replied to a message, we can recognize that we don’t know why and give them room to explain. In that small choice, we make room for both truth and kindness.
Notice one thought you keep returning to today. Ask yourself what you know to be true and how you can respond with kindness. Ask God, in the name of His Son Jesus, to remove from your heart everything that does not come from the fruit of the Holy Spirit, renew your strength, and fill you with His Holy Spirit.
Abba Father, You are God. Thank You for choosing me and rescuing me through Your Son Jesus. Help me recognize what is true and give my attention to what pleases You. Remove from my heart everything that does not come from the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. Renew my strength and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. May the thoughts I dwell on lead me to speak with kindness and act justly. I ask this in the name of Your beloved Son Jesus. Amen.
