My Thoughts Are Transformed

I abide in Spirit; my thoughts are great birds that lift me.

irds of the air in the Bible represent spiritual thoughts. As we ascend our spiritual path and grow in consciousness, our thoughts are transformed. Early in our journeys, we may find ourselves ruled by emotions. We may find our minds flooded with mundane thoughts. But as we weed the gardens of our minds and plant spiritual seeds, we will find the thoughts that we tend to think first are changing.

Where earlier our first reaction to a setback might have been anger, and it was only by stepping back that we came to see the good, now we might look for the good first. Let us again affirm, “I abide in Spirit; my thoughts are great birds that lift me.”

St. Matthew 17:2, “And Jesus was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes turned white like light.”
