While going through my notepad, I came across a note I wrote from one of my John Maxwell Mastermind classes...
- "A person's secret of success is found in his daily agenda." - John Maxwell
I set out to allow and work with the Lord to be healed of deep depression. I was convinced whole heartedly that the key to counteracting the daily mental anguish and emotional pain I was experiencing is the renewal of my mind through Christ; committing time to study God's Word through devotionals, watching sermons online, reading through parts of the Bible, journaling, etc.. The best time for that, other than anytime and every time you need to, is in the morning. Lysa Terkeurst says, "You must exchange whispers with God before shouts with the world." The idea is this: whatever you focus your mind on first in the morning is what you will be saturated most with throughout the day. After all, it is easiest to fill an empty bucket.
As I reflect on this time of my life, I have a chance to look at what success this habit has brought me. I find myself asking, could I possibly be one of the most joyful people I know?
“For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
Matthew 12:34 NKJV
