"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14:1
Do you ever have thoughts that won't leave you alone? Something upsets you and instead of putting the thought aside, it haunts you.
I am an emotional person and in many cases this happens to me. I become so upset over something I should overlook. I say things that I will eventually regret. Then I get mad at myself for getting worked up in the first place. I heard something this weekend that really helped me put things into perspective.
"You can't keep the birds from flying over, but you can keep them from making a nest in your hair."
I can't keep myself from having negative thoughts, but I can keep myself from dwelling on them. If I trust in God, then there is no need to let my heart be troubled. So the next time something bothers me, I'm going to think of this quote and let the birds fly right on by!
Very good quote!
