A Matter of Perception

When I was younger, I struggled with keeping a positive outlook for the day when I woke up in the morning. I always seemed to dwell on the burdensome tasks and the negative things before me. I struggled with this for a long time. When I rededicated my life to Christ, I found a peace that had been missing in my life; a joy that would carry me on through my day. I learned not to take life for granted and to thank God for ALL the little things as well as the big things. As I began to read and study the Bible more, I ultimately came across this wonderful scripture that sums up what I’m trying to say:

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. In some cases, it's not just what you think about, but how you choose to think about it; a matter of perception. So remember Philippians 4:8 and CHOOSE to think on the good things! Leave that negativity to itself. God Bless You and Keep you Today! 🙂
