Positivity

I want to be the most positive and enthusiastic person I know. I want to say, “yes, I have made progress. I am scarred and I have been hurt. I have been through hell but I came out alive and the flames have made me a better Christian because trials only come to make me strong.” I want to be so in love with God that loving others does not seem like a task. Yes, I want to be the most positive, most cheerful person I know. I want the joy of my salvation from within shine so brightly that it radiates on my face. I want to have the brightest smile in the room. No, not those fake smiles I put up sometimes so nobody knows I was up all night wishing I wasn’t so broken. I want to be that friend that you call so you can lean on… The person you go to to cheer you up. I will be the most positive and joyful person I know. I will be so locked up in God’s perfect will that everything will work for my good. I will work on it everyday til I look back and say, “thank you, Lord. It is only by your grace that I am the most positive person I know.”
“I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” -Philipians 4:13
