If you are a sensitive person, applying the advice of the picture may be quite difficult. Why? Well, that depends on your situation. Some of the "suitcases" may be more troublesome than others. Proper thinking will help! What you focus your thoughts on will change your life. Changing what you do will help! A person will be molded in the image of their actions. Friends will help! Having others to help while you hurt is a great blessing!!!
For me (and other Christians as well) there is no greater friend than Jesus!!! JESUS WILL HELP!!! Consider the following words from his apostle Paul...
Colossians 3 (World English Bible)
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. 5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6 for which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. 7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them; 8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. 9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, 11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
If you focus your thoughts on something, sooner or later your actions will follow (1-4, above). Get rid of (put to death, above) things that cause problems (5-9, above). Replace them with positive actions (10-13, above).
Still having problems with this??? Repeat 1-4 and pray about it some more! Jesus WILL help!!!
Works for me every time!!!!
Your Friend,
