When we have the same thought again, the line of the original thought is deepened, causing what's called a memory trace. With each repetition the trace goes deeper and deeper, forming and embedding a pattern of thought. When an emotion is tied to this thought pattern, the memory trace grows exponentially stronger.
Lysa TerKeurstWe aren't supposed to strive for perfection everyday. If we were perfect, we'd have no need for Jesus. And it's through our imperfections that we really feel the pull toward our need for a Savior. So the imperfections serve a wonderful purpose if we'll let them.
Lysa TerKeurstThe decisions you make today matter. Every decision points your life in the direction you are about to travel. No decision is an isolated choice. Itโs a chain of events. If you choose wisely, your future will reflect that. But if you donโt choose wisely, the decisions you make now will take you to places you donโt want to be later.
