Heart Guide for Lesson 14:
Discerning the Enemy

What would it be like to go through the day with positive thoughts filling your mind? Well, here is a practical way to begin: just consider how much of the day is spent thinking about people we know. Let's begin there!

Make a list of the people you think about the most. Now write beside their names a list of their positive qualities.
