# 5 of 12 "Thoughts on Thursdays"

Taken from the book:  "POWER THOUGHTS", 12 Strategies to WIN the Battle of the Mind, written by Joyce Meyer:

"I Love People and I Enjoy Helping Them!"

Meyer had a less-than-the-best childhood and could have been trapped in 'bad thought patterns'. But she has allowed God to teach her and has worked hard to overcome less-than-the best thoughts. She chooses a single sentence and thinks of it over and over in a given day. Not allowing negative thoughts to control her mind. And pre-programming herself for what might come up.

By using today's thought, even though, I believe, Meyer 'loves people and enjoys helping them', that may not be true for 'everyone' coming into Meyer's life in a given day. Or 'enjoy helping them'. But by silently repeating that line, her thoughts will be programmed for something she may not care too much about coming her way in the future!

Bible verses which backs up her thinking:

"Let us not love (merely) in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."

~ I John 3:18

*

"I give you a new commandment:  that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another."

~ John 13:34
