Power of Positive Thinking

[*~1Best~*]

Happy, Thank you for your daily Positive Words.

I believe that the Word of God is positive for us. God told us to be positive, e.g. "give thanks to all things". How can we be thankful when bad things happen to us. God told us to be thankful for "ALL" things whatever happen to us. This is a message of "thinking positive". So, I force myself to be positive, to create positive thoughts in my mind, to be thankful to God, to find something to be thankful for, and to live daily with positive thoughts.

It is quite simple to create the world peace. When everyone can focus on the fruit of Spirit, we will live in peace since there will not be a war or hate. Instead of arguing over doctrinal differences, we can focus on being friends and helpful for others. When we practice two teachings of God, this world will live in peace.

God bless

Matthew 18

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
