FOCUS ON THE SUNNY SIDE
Hi!
February the month of love is here! This is one of my favorite months of the year because of the theme it represents – love. I enjoy being loved and I’m thankful for God’s amazing love for me. I am also thankful for the people who love me. I am aware there are some people that don’t like this month because of what it stands for. For them it brings back memories that are best buried in the sea of forgetfulness. But you don’t have to stay sad over the past. In life, we will all experience the sweet and the bitter. Life is like a coin, there will always be two sides to it, but what side of the coin you choose to focus on will determine your disposition towards life and ultimately your success, both spiritual and material.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things (Colossians 3:1-2 NIV)
What does God want to achieve by giving us this command? He wants our focus to be on love because God is Love! (1John 4:8). If we focus on the love side of life – all the good and lovely things and people that God has sent into our lives, we will never stay sad. In fact, we will be happy and thankful all the time!
What does a merry heart do? It is medicine to our bodies and it makes a cheerful countenance! (Proverbs 15:13, 17:22).
A merry heart is an energizer; you will need it to follow through on your goals.
Life is a journey to be savored, go through it focusing on the sunny side!
To your success!
With love,
Angela
