Astonished, Mary became speechless as she stared in Mark's eyes with disbelief. She thought to herself, "Me? Why Me? Couldn't he choose someone else? I haven't anything to offer him."As Mary snapped out of it, she softly said, "I can't, I don't want to explain but I just can't!" Swiftly Mary left the table and headed to the back of the coffee shop. As she sat down she began to contemplate what she would say to Mark when she saw him again.Week after week, Mary did everything she could to avoid Mark. He had left her several notes about just wanting to talk to her. He wanted to express that he never meant to upset her. But it was no use, Mary refused to speak to Mark. The weeks of silence turned into months and the months into a year. Mark only wanted Mary to be happy so he dared not push her or make her feel uncomfortable by continuing to leave her notes at work. As time went by they both went on with their lives but one could only wonder what could have happen if Mary had filtered her thoughts about herself.
It's not about what you have or don't have. The clothes you wear, your style, your hair, your financial status or your background is irrelevant when it comes to defining you.It's important to have good thoughts about who you are. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7 Your thoughts control your future! Just look around at your current situation. Whatever you see before you started with a simple thought! Think about it.
Mary didn't think that she was worthy of Mark so she drove him away. She also pushed away what could have been the answer to her prayers. Maybe for you it wasn't a guy but a job or opportunity you wanted but didn't pursue because you didn't think that you were worthy of it!
Don't let your thoughts rule your life, rule your thoughts!
