We are what we think. As the scripture says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” We must learn then, to discipline our thoughts. We look to the Light, even Jesus Christ, and ponder; what would He have us do? In a society which daily becomes more tolerant of filth, we must do better! It begins with us. We plead that His grace attend us, that we might excercise discipline, for discipline engenders light, and that which is dark, foul, and unclean, cannot abide the presence of light. Indeed, darkness flees its presence. Discipline of thought requires constant effort. In the end, our thoughts, whether light or dark, will show on our countenance, for we are what we think. Let us remember then, the following.
“All the water in the world,
However hard it tried,
Could never sink the smallest ship
Unless it gets inside,
And all the evil in the world,
The blackest kind of sin,
Can never hurt you the least bit
Unless you let it in.”
