Good Thoughts get gas from Emotion

I was watching Joel Osteen tonight. I really dig that brother. He's not gonna spend 30 minutes quoting scripture (he already said he's not that type of guy), but you'll feel pretty pumped up after listening to him. Anyway, he brought up Psalm 37:4. It reads "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart". Anyone who knows me has probably figured out that I am a firm believer in DIY. Making your own choices, taking responsibility for your own life, and changing yourself, from the inside out. Believing that, I immediately felt as though this was to tell all of us "delight thyself...", or, create in yourself delight. Is that hard? Have you ever had a thought about an old friend? A fond memory of a time you spent away some place special with someone you love? A funny thing a pet of yours did? Even though the moment may have been long past, that thought, when it arose in your mind, gave you that same feeling you had then, as though it had just happened. Who put that thought in your head? You! As a creator, created in the image and likeness of the only creator there is, you can originate thoughts. Why not originate thoughts that are of a nature that will generate instantaneous joy, or pleasure. Phillippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things". But then take it step further, and let that thought be coupled with positive emotion. Emotion is the gas that fuels the thought. The better u feel when u imagine good things and hold your vision in your mind, the more power you give to your thoughts.
