Wise thinking leads to right living; Stupid thinking leads to wrong living.
Good morning friends,
I have had one line of a song in my head for 2 days now, maybe cause I only remember that much. Isn't great how God can use something so mundane and spur you onto something exciting?
"Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative" (and something something calling the whole thing off)
I really don't remember it all, but this one line is my purpose.
I play this game on my tablet called Flippix and you have a grid in various sizes and it is like backwards sudoku. You look at the numbers and chose the squares that are positive and negative. If you guess them all, it automatically takes out the negative, and if life were a 5x5 square that would be easy. but a 20x 20 grid is much harder. You can figure out some of the positive but you can get stuck and it makes you unsure what to do. Many time if you take out the negative you know is negative the picture becomes clearer.
In our lives there is so much negative. It is almost everywhere. Sometimes we can't see the positive for the negative.
Often if we eliminate a few negative things, the positive becomes bigger.
A rainy, cloudy day, dark clouds hover, suddenly a tiny split in the clouds comes down. It is spectacular. A bright shining spot, though small it has the ability to wipe away darkness, and bring peace, erase weariness and bring a smile to calm you.
A ray of hope.
It is amazing that our God would create something so spectacular that is meant for just us.
His majesty and power wield awesome power.
So how do we get that ray of light started, when storm clouds smother us?
Glad you asked.
Pray for God to reveal a weak spot where light can squeak through.
It maybe as little as changing the radio station, or not watching a TV show, or as hard as unfriending someone for real.
Family is tough, but distance and boundaries are good.
Have you got someone in your life who drains the life out of you?
Just being around them is exhausting?
I have. I much prefer having those who speak into my life, breath a healing rejuvenating breath into your life.
Those friends are keepers.
So my next question is even harder...
Are you a positive life breather? Or are you a negative life sucker?
I am not going to judge you, that is for you and God to decide.
It is so funny cause when I looked up a verse for this the first ones to pop up were from Job. I think God is trying to tell me something.
Today I root out the cause for negativity in my house and that is clutter.
WOW, do I have it.
Need anything? anything at all I got it. It is yours come get it.
Spring is trying to break through this horrid winter and I think if we all put our flip flops on we can conquer it for good...Who is with me?
Have a blessed day
Always
