God is an optimist!!

Good morning everyone!! I hope this is a wonderful day in the Lord Jesus
Christ for you. Don't forget to say Merry Christmas to someone today.
Also, tell someone about Jesus. God is good, all the time, all the time-
God is good!!! Continuing words from J. David Hoke.


"...One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to
what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14)

God is an optimist. I know that because when Jesus ascended into heaven,
He put His disciples in charge of winning the world. But we can be
optimists, too.

We can be optimists when we come to understand that God truly has a plan
for our lives. We can begin to look to the future with hope. A divine
expectation can be created within our hearts. And an eager anticipation of
what are the possibilities for our life can replace those negative
patterns of thought which bind us.

If we would live successfully in the present, we must not only put the
past aside, but we must replace pessimism with optimism. There are good
things which lie ahead.

But not only must we replace pessimism with optimism, we must also replace
passivism with activism.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, by some miracle, we could begin again,
knowing what we know now. Things would be different, wouldn’t they? Well,
let's begin here on Monday. Thank you for reading and studying with me.
Love you all!!

In Christ's Love and Grace
