Title: Encouragement
Post by: ciy on July 24, 2007, 07:27:31 PM

The following is an email I received this morning.  I am amazed at how God is all in all. To me this is a scriptual encouragement.

ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE

You cannot always control your circumstances.(NO FREE WILL RIGHT OFF THE BAT)
But, you can control your own thoughts.(Capture each thought and think thoughts of truth, and good)
There is nothing either good or bad,(Count it all joy.  God is all in all)
only your thinking makes it so.(As a man thinks so is he)

Things turn out best for those people
who can make the best out of the way things turn out.(Knowing that God causes all to work to the good)
It's not the situation, it's your reaction to the situation.(Rejoice in trials knowing God is in control)

The reality in your life may result from many outside factors,
none of which you can control.(NO FREE WILL! AGAIN)
Your attitude, however,
reflects the ways in which you deal with what is happening to you.(The truth will set you free)

Life at any time can become difficult.(Rejoice in trials)
Life at any time can become easy.(Every good thing comes from God - and it is all good)
It all depends upon how you adjust yourself to life.(Again the knowledge of the truth will make you free indeed)
What you see in your mind is what you'll get out of life. [To the froward He is froward so know that God is good.  To those who can see the truth like Joshua, "See I have given you Jericho(the promise land)]

I love seeing God in everything.
