LOOK FOR THE GOOD. AND THE GOOD WILL FIND YOU.
Let’s face it, life is filled with many situations and people that can in a sense become the “kill joys” of our days. These experiences invite us to look away from our good. It takes great courage to look for a deeper perspective, to self-reflect, and to simply look for the good. Even when a situation seems adverse, there is always good unfolding behind the scenes. Many times this is not for us to know, it’s God’s job to deliver the answer. It’s our job to ask, and to cultivate the faith in action to receive the answer. See each situation for it for what it is and be at peace that your good is coming and your questioning will be answered. People love to gossip and chatter about what’s going “wrong” in our world. What happened to the notion that many things are going “right”. It takes courage to swim up stream and invite a different perspective in the world.
I do my best each day to look for the good in people and experiences as my day unfolds. I have my challenges, just like anyone else. The real work behind looking for the good comes when you are cut off on the road, you loose your job, you loose a love, or receive a nasty e-mail… the list of potential adversities could go on and on, some serious and some small. But I believe that these are the times when the most important work begins and by opening yourself to the good, true joy can be fostered in your life.
Can we look past the gray areas of life and seek to find the good that God is unfolding before our eyes? Finding the good, is the seed. The more seeds of positive thought and richer perspective we plant, the more positive our lives grow as a whole. Hold positive expectancy for all situations and people in your life… even when you don’t really feel like it. The moment will pass, the situation will change, everything heals in time. You hold the seed in your hand, it is up to you to choose to plant and nurture it. When you put this simple concept into action, unlimited miracles and joy unfold.
There is goodness in everyone. There is good in everything. I invite you to find the courage to begin looking for good in your daily life – in all ways, in all times. Find people and friends that support you in this. There is power when two or more gather and agree. Empower yourself to find the joy and goodness that your life holds. For truly, God is good. And life is good. This, I believe, is a simple truth.
