WTLB~~Be a Positive Role Model

January 21, 2008

Living in a world where things are never good enough for people and complaining is at its highest its hard to be a positive role model. Borrowing the example from Peter Pan you can go a long ways on a “happy thought.” No, you will not fly through the sky with the greatest of ease because you thought of your favorite game you like to play or something. However, you’d be surprised just how far you can go on the strength of being positive. Being negative is a dead-end street that only gets you further into the negative. You are the one who needs to control your thinking, what you think is often a choice, a habit sometimes and you need to start out with good habits that you can grow on instead of bad habits you will have to change later. God was positive when He sent Christ to save us, instead of saying, “Oh those people are too far gone to be saved.” He said, “I’m sending my Son to die for these people because I know they can be saved.”

Instead of saying, “Oh this is going to be a bad day.” Start your day by saying, “I’m going to have good day no matter what.” You are what you think. Thinking positive is not being wimpy just like thinking negative thoughts and being negative is not being “cool.”

The battlefield with Satan is in our minds. That’s where he likes to attack us the most. It’s definitely true that if you don’t make up your mind, Satan will do it for you. The best way to make up your mind is doing it up in positive thinking focused on God, the one who cares about what is going on in your mind.
