daily word - thoughts?

An old philosopher said, I think, therefore I am. He derived his identity from his thoughts. Do you? Do you think you are the sum of your thoughts? Yet do you have perfect control over your thoughts? Do you ever have thoughts that are unwelcome and seem to be intruders? The Bible tells you to take every thought captive, and this implies that your thoughts are not the essence of your being. Do you find this difficult to do? If you can’t control your thoughts at will you can start by becoming an observer of them, watching them pass by and knowing that they are not the real you and that you don’t have to act on them.
