Where did that thought come from?

I am often asking myself this question. I’ve been wounded by many people throughout my life. I harbor anger and bitterness like many of us, so bad thoughts driven by emotion enter my mind. The best thing I’ve done recently is to realize I’m not OK. I need a transformed heart. I need to live life in the kingdom – a life of peace. We all need a life of denying our own selfish desires. We can do that my not letting emotions rule us. God gave us a mind for a reason – to reason!
