'finding good in everyday life'
“What is truth?”
Pilate asked Jesus this very question. John 8:38
Truth will not force itself upon you. It will present itself to you.
You can seek it out and you will find it.
If you don’t want to see the truth, you won’t.
It will hide from you, and you will hide from it.
But, if we seek the truth and know it, it will set us free.
What would it feel like to be free? Really free…From those little secret things we don’t like, but keep doing anyway because we don’t think we have a choice.
Who will you let win?
We really can control the outcome!
We don’t have to allow another’s bad choice to to cause us to make bad choices.
We are only responsible for ours. Let them be responsible for theirs.
They hate, we maintain love.
They control, we keep our peace.
They yell, we keep a calm voice.
They destroy, we build up.
They pull back, we lean in.
They accuse, we bless.
They speak lies, we speak truth.
They divide, we multiply.
… and really, these voices are not just those of others; we hear them shouting in our own heads. Are we going to let them in….let them win?
Steer yourself the direction you want to go.
Stay on the path.
Time for the honest truth….no other kind of truth really…
Winter, about 4 years ago, I quit writing on my blog…let it expire, didn’t contribute anything good for anybody…just quit thinking about good things to write about.
So much for all my talk about doing good and then not doing my good…writing about it…encouraging others to do their good.
Then about a year ago, I began thinking about things, how I really needed to begin again; I even told God, if He’d give me ideas to write that I would. But I never did.
Today during a very hard time, a thought came to mind, and rather than forget about it, I sat down to write about it.
You will read it in the next post.
That’s my confession, now I’m back in the saddle.
We need to talk about the good going on everywhere, with so much negative, down in the mouth talk at every angle, our boats are starting to sink. It’s time to tip the scales in the other direction….up!!!
There’s gobs of good going on all over…
Find it today!
(then tell somebody else about it)
