MIND IN LOVE WITH GOD

A mind in love with God is just that - a mind infatuated with his love and enamored by his presence. The thoughts of a person's mind can be an incomparable garden of beauty and worship to God or a desert of isolation, loneliness, and despair. Christians must cultivate this garden of their thoughts through the spiritual discipline of meditation and prayer. 

"The reason there are so few speakers of God in the public is because there are so few thinkers about God in private."

Scripture to read: Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Romans 12:1-2, Philippians 2:5, Romans 8:6, Isaiah 26:3

"The most important thing about a man is what he thinks about God." -A.W. Tozer
