Positive Post Tuesday
do you know about positive post tuesday?
if i’m honest, i think sometimes positivity is only possible when things are good. i act like it is a condition of my current situation.
it’s as if i’ve convinced myself that i can be positive (loving, gracious, compassionate) only if my circumstances are beneficial to me in some way.
when we look into the Bible we find that Christians are never promised that things will always be good. in fact, we’re promised much the opposite; that suffering and struggle and persecution and hurt are coming our way.
today people are struggling all over the place, be they Christian or not.
and still, we know that we can be positive because of who we serve…the God of Love.
i was reminded of this fact today when i saw this little video in my reader from pastor greg laurie.

i’m excited about the work God wants to do around the world today and i’m even more excited that He wants me to be a little part of it.
it’s tuesday. be positive.
