The biggest battle that we face in life is right between our ears. We often let the guilt and shame messages sink into our inner beings and rob us of true joy and contentment. The Bible says that one of the ways to battle the negative messages is to renew our minds (Romans 12:1) with things that are positive and healthy (Philippians 4:8-9). As we do this over time, we begin to win the battle and experience the joy that God wants us to have - no matter what’s going on around us.
