Self pity

There are certain thinking habits that are very destructive to ourselves if we don’t get control of them. Immoral thoughts, bitter thoughts, covetous thoughts, angry thoughts are all very bad, but I believe that the worst is regular thoughts of self pity. Self pity thinking makes us weak, and if we don’t conquor that thinking we will become so weak in character that the smallest trial totally consumes us. I am not sure why but I had a bad day today in regards to my Parkinson’s and I started down this path of feeling sorry for myself, and then getting bitter toward God. Thankfully I caught myself quickly and repented before God and confessed my sin to Him and began thanking Him for all the blessings of my life that I have experienced as a gift from Him. It didn’t take long and the bad thinking had been replaced by positive thinking that worked hard at rejoicing always. Thank You Lord for being near me today and not letting me go down that wrong path very far.
