You know what doesn’t help when we’re<br />
trying to live a life following after God<br />
and keeping our thoughts pure? Unwholesome<br />
books, movies, and music. This<br />
topic is often stressed in Christian<br />
devotionals, books, and other literature,<br />
so much so it can seem overrated or<br />
redundant.<br />
Despite that, here I am telling you now,<br />
from personal experience, those more<br />
romantic-y books, movies, and love<br />
songs will. not. help. you. In fact, if you<br />
don’t guard your mind and heart, it can<br />
cause other, wrong and sensual thoughts to<br />
be entering your head, distracting you<br />
from God, from your family, from your<br />
friends, and from what is most<br />
important.<br />
I’m not saying it’s wrong to listen to<br />
some secular songs or secular movies,<br />
but be guarded and filter what you do watch.<br />
Look up Christian reviews online. It<br />
could save you from a lifetime of regret.<br />

When we struggle with our mind and what to fill it with, the best<br />
thing to do is to pray about it. Then search for beneficial books,<br />
music, and even movies that will fill your mind and focus your<br />
heart on what’s most important.<br />

You have all this time as a single! Use it wisely. Grow those<br />
relationships that need strengthening, and even if you have<br />
relationships that are already strong, make them stronger! God<br />
gives us these years for a reason, right?
