If it is true that we become what we think about, then it will change the core of our being to memorize and repeat again and again such affamations as these;
The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shal i fear?'' (ps, 27: 1).
Those who hope in the Lord will nenew their strength" (Isa. 40: 31).
In all things God works for the good of those who love him" (Rom. 8: 28).
We can do everything through him who gives us strength" (Phil. 4: 13).

Look for Jesus in whom you can confide
One of the remakable things about Jesus was that he seemed to create a climate in which people felt free to talk and share their innermost sins,
One of the values of such talk is that it helps us avoid self-delusion, for we human beings have an infinite capacity for self-deception. Having one other person who knows everything about us is enomously helpful in being able to see ourselves realistically. We have been taught to deny so much, to put the best light on everything, to ignore the dark side of ourselves, and to eschew nagative thinking. But facing the truth---especialy the difficult truths about ourselves----can be both a liberating and an exhilarating experience. And the very decision to know the truth about ourselves is itself an act of self acceptance.

Put in your prayers, your resolutions, the little dialogues you have with your God, your dreams, your fantasies, your response to events and people. Let it be representative of both your spiritual and your oddssey.....

We should devote ourselves to regular spiritual discriplines
Because the people who God admire always turn out to be people who practice rigorously the habit of a daily appointment with God.
We are of value not for what we accomplish but rather because we are children of God. No more no less a reason is necessary for us to feel confident. When that foundation is established for our worth, we begin to discover a balance between work and play and love.

Amen: those who have never discovered that God loves and accepts them tend to be driven, hurrying kids of persons who are addicted to work. The driven person is apt, Here, are some signs that you are a workaholic, or Type A: (1) if you usually feel vaguely guilty when you are relaxing and doing nothing for several hours or several days.(2) When vacations are difficult.

The reality of God's grace does not mean that we are to sit down and become sinful slobs because our salvation is given to us rather than earned. To the contrary, when you feel in your bones the meaning of God's grace, you will want to lead a more godly life than ever. But the difference is this: you do it in response to God's love, rather than to earn that love,. In the same fashion, when you feel valuable and loved by virtue of who you are rather than because of what you do, that does not make you want to spend the rest of your life lounging on the beaches, instead, this self-confidence causes you to want to accomplish all the more.

The love of God is a gift of grace, ''not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph.2:9). In another words, God loves us simply and uconditionally because we are God's children. Nothing you could do could make God love you more than He does right now.

The fundamental teaching from the Bible is normally related to the
subject of redemption, but it has broader implications as well. The Bible is clear that God's love for us is not dependant on our work. That is, we are not loved by God because we scramble frenetically read our Bibles, go to church,pray more, and avoid every sin possible.

The Bible, is a Holly Constitution, of course, gives a great deal of credence to dreams, and in our discussion here we must remember that what is now called ''the self"was once called " the Soul," and that the explanation of the unconscious did not begin with Freud's publications of the Interpretation of Dreams, whose spiritual was close to the biblical thinkers.

The early Churches, on the other hand, were very realistic about the human nature. " If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, "the Bible says bluntly ( 1John 1:8 ). This passage makes it clear that one of the steps on the way to wholeness is facing squarely the dark side of ourselves rather than sweeping it under the rug and proceeding as it were not there.
