Be Positive!

Day 8 is give a piece of advice. This is what is on my heart today.



Be positive. Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Look for the good in everything. Lean on the Lord during the hard times. Pray without ceasing. Trust in Him as your comforter and provider.

I know too many people who always seem to complain. No matter what is going on in life, there is always something negative for them to point out or dwell on. I do realize that hard times are real. And there is certainly a place for mourning, grieving, and taking some time to just feel your feelings, no matter how hard and painful they are. I also know depression is real. Get professional help. But also pray. Pray a lot.

Things cannot make you happy. Life circumstances cannot make you happy. People cannot make you happy. The only one who can truly satisfy you and fill you with joy is Jesus. So let Him!

These simple things I try to live by. Focus on your blessings. Be thankful in all circumstances. Lean on the Lord. Pray, pray, and pray some more. Let Jesus meet your every need. Yes, there will still be hard times and we will struggle to stay positive during those times. That is okay. But in the day to day struggles that we face, let’s be a light unto the world. And being a positive person is part of that.
