You know after reading a lot of scripture this week it amazes me how we as "a people" gripe and complain. About almost everything. It broke and breaks my heart.Why is it so easy to be negative? Why do we complain instead of REJOICE in Christ. It is amazing how much we use the tongue opposite of what the Lord Jesus Christ intended us to use it. Then . . . before we know it YIKES! "What you find on your heart, you find on your tongue, once it gets into your mind the journey's just begun." . . . unknown. That is so true. So I choose to try and read more and put into practice what I have learned from scripture. Boy do I have a long way to go but that is my goal and true desire.
Maybe we should try and have a "Polly Anna attitude" although it is idealistic it is not all that realistic. Ideally it is possibly though because in Christ "All things are possible." We should be lifting one another up like Paul mentioned in scripture. Don't we all really desire that truly? I do - NOT FLATTERY but true uplifting! You know there is some struggles and some suffering but doing good for the benefit of the Kingdom is the best thing ever! Many times we are so quick to tear one another down especially our brothers and sisters - because of our "pet peeves" maybe we should stop petting them so much and we won't get peeved!!! Are we forgetting that we should be living quite differently than the world? Aren't we just temporarily just passing through anyway? I'm a visitor hear on earth and my true desire is to be different than the rest of the world so that when I go home the glory is given all to him.
I like the quote from Henry Ford, "The man who says he CAN'T and the man that says he CAN are both correct~!" Therefore, "I CAN do all things through Jesus Christ who gives me strength" and that includes being positive. I have a lot to do starting NOW. :-) Have a great one!
I Know YOU CAN!!!! :-)
