MINDFUL OR MIND FULL?

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

I was reading about Slow Stitching which encourages you to slow down and let your mind relax into doing something that doesn't have to be perfect in any way but just be an expression of what is inside of you. It's a form of being mindful which I know is much talked about at the minute.

But I don't want to talk about that kind of mindfulness, but just to ask a simple question.  What are our minds full of most of the time - what am I 'mind full' of?

It might be helpful throughout our day to take a couple of minutes and empty our minds of all the 'stuff' that constantly fills us up with the news, or media, or family situations or paying the bills, or work problems etc. and just turn our attention on God and let His peace fill our minds instead. 

Here are some things to be 'mind full of' this week, maybe when we sit down for our rest break, or when things start to get on top of us, take a deep breath and think, or say out loud if it helps...

God chose me before the world was made. 

He loves me with an unconditional, never ending love. 

Wherever I am, God is here with me. 

He has placed me in the hollow of His hand to keep me safe so I can trust Him. 

He is the God who is more than enough for all situations in my life. 

My God is the God of all comfort and hope as I believe and rest in Him. 

He gives me His peace which is flowing into me right now.

No doubt you can think of lots more things but I hope that has helped fill our minds with God's goodness to us and how much He cares for and loves us today.😊
