The one thought that can make a world of difference


Everyday, we are faced with different situations, where we sometimes have to make tough choices and decisions; but I reckon there's one thought that can make a world of difference in our everything we do.

That one thought that can make someone who's contemplating defrauding his business partner to reconsider, and stick to the pre-agreed terms of the contract.

That one thought that can make someone who's contemplating suicide to change his mind, and choose to live instead.

That one thought that can make the student who relies on 'paying his way to high grades', to instead work hard and study.

That one thought that can make the husband who's already booked a hostel room for the night to cheat on his wife with his secretary, to instead cancel and go home.

That one thought that can make the terrorist who's strapped himself with explosives and heading to the mall where they're over 2000 people, to instead disconnect them and turn back.

That one thought that can make the young rich guy to help the poor homeless kids he sees on his way to the office every morning, instead of buying the 'coolest' video game.

That one thought that can make the young rich lady to help the poor old woman who comes to wash her toilet everyday, instead of splashing hundreds of thousands on the latest Michael Kors bag.

That one thought that can make government office holders who embezzle public funds to instead, use the funds for public good.

That one thought that can make the young man who's loafing around with no ambition to instead, knuckle down, work hard and make a success of his life.

What's this one thought that can make a world of difference...?
Ask yourself: If Jesus were to be here right now, what would He do? What would He do if He was in this exact same situation I'm in? The thought of Jesus in that exact same situation and how He'd deal with it can make a world of difference in what you decide to do.

That one thought could be the difference between life and death; success and failure; heaven and hell; peace and chaos.

When you're faced with tough decisions, think: what would Jesus do? Think like Him. Develop His mindset, and you can get His results.
