HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR MENTAL CLIMATE. 

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 NASB1995

HAPPY DAY TO YOU: In the year 2004, I wrote the first edition of EVA YOURS (The Bible In One Year Devotional) and I met with a chapter of scripture that began the transformation of my mental climate. Before then, my mind was controlled by all sorts of fears resulting mostly from things we were taught not to do, societal experiences of people around us and cultural influences. All the world principles, parables both written and unwritten were rooted in self preservation and not love. All the good works and the good ways of living we were taught ended in nothing we expected. Then I came in contact with 1 Corinthians 13. This first part describes how we had been taught. “If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal. And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to love, then I am nothing. And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of love, I would gain nothing of value.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 TPT

Since then, I started telling myself that I must learn to love. Each day, I wake up telling myself “I learn to love today and in all circumstances”  My attitude soon started changing, fitting the second part of this chapter. At first, I was feeling like a loser but as I kept at it,  I began feeling happy and fulfilled and nothing seemed to matter any longer. Fear disappeared and it was replaced with freedom. Love showed me not to worry as all things work together for good for me. Today, though I have not perfected love, I know I have moved forward. Today, you can choose love and pause for love to speak before I act at any time.

Today’s Exercise: I choose to pause and wait for love to speak before I speak or act. Say to yourself ten times and as often as you can; “I listen to and I’m guided by love today and always in all my encounters”.
