Are we called to be positive amidst trouble and mayhem? Yes, I believe so. 👉We are called to be different, to shine when all is dark.
The Bible says it like this in Philippians 2:15: Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.
We are called to be bright lights! It saddens me when Christians are negative and without hope. I talk with a lot of people who find it difficult to remain positive when many things seem to go wrong, whether it is the politics in their country, the economic situation, or the spiritual climate.
And yes, sometimes world events and traumatic happenings can get to our nerves; but let's go back to the Bible again and again and find encouragement.
Realizing how difficult it can be to remain hopeful, I taped 15 videos with practical tips you can start implementing today. They're just two minutes each and the messages will encourage you and lift you up. I don't have all the answers, but I realize we need to rise above our circumstances... all the time.
If you haven't seen the videos, here's the link and let me know what you think!
Yes, it is difficult to stay positive in our world today. There was another school shooting today. This is the second one this week. We have to remember that this world is NOT our home. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteSo sad Cecelia, the world has gone mad. But we are still here for a reason, we must work while it is still daytime Jesus said, because a time will come when that is no longer possible. Thank you dear, for stopping by, be blessed!
DeleteLoved this first video, Marja, and will be on the look out for the others to come. Without God in my life every single day, I would lose hope for this negative world. Thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

DeleteThank you, dear Marja, for raising important topic. We live in such times when information/news/events from outside especially trough social media make pressure on our mood and inner being. Jesus gave us instruments to stay positive. More time with him - changes atmosphere and attitude to everything. Blessings, love and his Shalom from 🇬🇪
