“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

(Romans 12:2 ESV)

“Ponder the path of your feet; then, all your ways will be sure.”

(Proverbs 4:26 ESV)

Hate has four letters, but so does love.
Enemies has seven letters, but so do friends.
Lying has five letters, but so does truth.
Cry has three letters, but so does joy. 
Negativity has ten letters, but so does positivity.

Life is two sided, choose the better side of it.

Let me ask you a few questions. Which do you choose? Love or hate? Why? My opinion and mine only. I prefer love. I have experienced hate and do not like it. 

What about friends or enemies? If you are anything like me, friends are your choice. I don’t like confrontation, so give me friends every day.

What about cry or joy? Negativity or positively? I prefer joy and a positive outlook. 

Being negative never got me anywhere. But by being friendly and upbeat will bring a more positive experience. 

Do you think Jesus walked around all day saying, “Oh, poor me. I’m going to die young for a bunch of ungrateful people.” No, He didn’t. He kept a positive attitude. That’s who we should pattern our lives on. 

I know we aren’t perfect, but we can keep trying. So, while you ponder my questions, have a fabulous day, everyone.
