Choose Joy Over Yesterday's Pain
I generally would describe myself as a positive person with a hopeful outlook on things. Maybe you do to?But do you feel like you spend a lot of time dwelling on the negatives? Oftentimes, we let our circumstances overwhelm us. We focus on the moment and forget that there is something bigger and better ahead of us. I’m guilty, I think we all are sometimes...like maybe now when we are realizing we didn’t buy our house to be stuck in it for months...But you know, we can spend time in self pity, even knowing others have it worse, or we can make the choice to rejoice in what we’ve been given. You always have a choice. Focus on yesterday’s pain or today’s joy.You see, God will bring us through whatever storm we are facing. Life can be difficult. But you can choose joy by seeking out God’s Word! God’s Word is an anchor for your soul. If you just open your ears to God’s voice, He will shatter those chains of negativity and speak His truth into your heart. God loves you and He has wonderful things in store for you!“and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."”John 8:32 Be Nice, Grace Wins
