How many of you have heard that saying? All of you I hope! It’s an expression to depict how we interpret or see things that are happening in our lives. Are you a glass half full, or half empty kind of person? Do you see the positive side, or the negative side? I can tell you that I’m pretty bad about looking on the bright side. There have been a lot of things in my life that I had little to no control over. In turn, I believe it made it harder for me to have hope and optimism in times of hardship. But what does this mean for me as a christian? What does this mean for you?
As believers in christ, we surrender ourselves to him, and lay our trust in his hands, and our sorrows at his feet. The only way we can possibly see the glass half full, is with trust, and faith. Trusting Jesus is so powerful. Have you ever experienced a moment where your mind was completely and totally at peace? That is what trusting Jesus brings me. Peace. Life is so hard in so many ways. How do we keep a positive outlook on things going on in our life, and why is that important? Here’s how and why. We know that God has brought us this far. He has blessed you in more ways than you may realize or understand. He woke you up with life sustaining breath. What greater gift is there than life? It’s important that we remember these things during troubling times. Losing hope can be dangerous to our motivation, and our defense against the enemy.
Jesus is all powerful. There is NOTHING he cannot stand against. When you go through life, remember that focusing on the positive side of things, and remembering what HE is capable of, will be your strongest source of motivation in the midst of everything else.
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. Psalm 40:4
