You would never invite a thief into your house. So why allow thoughts that steal your peace to make their home in your mind?
Years ago, Martin Luther said, “You cannot keep birds from flying over your head. But you can keep them from building a nest in your hair."
I think these two quotes are saying the same thing. We can't always control the thoughts that come to our minds. But if these thoughts are stealing our peace, we don't have to dwell on them.
Our Bible verse is a favorite of mine. "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]." John 10:10 AMP
Let's not allow the thief to steal the abundant life Jesus came to give us. Let's throw out peace-stealing thoughts and live life to the full until it overflows.
