My heart is overflowing with a good theme.  Psalms 45:1

Have you ever heard someone say, "That's the story of my life"? It's been my observation that people generally seem to make that statement right after something negative has happened to them. They've determined that the story of their life is based on the negative things that have happened to them. But the truth is the story of our lives is actually written by what is in us, not what happens to us.
 
According to the psalmist, the theme for the story of your life flows out of your heart.  In other words, what happens in your life is an overflow of what is inside your heart. If your heart overflows with a theme of negativity and defeat, then that's what will flow out of you and affect your life. In the same way, if your heart overflows with a theme of faith and victory, then that's what will flow out of you and affect your life.
 
The theme of any story is always determined by the person who is writing the story. If you don't like the way the story of your life is going, perhaps it's time to change the theme. If you change the theme of your heart you will change the story of your life.
