Remember the Good




Maybe I'm just getting older. idk. But I am finding I have a choice to make. I can remember the good, or I can remember the bad. This is true with every person I have ever met.  It is true with every situation I have been through.

I see many elderly people happy, and many elderly people sad.  I wonder if what you think about affects how you look at yourself and the world around you.  According to this scripture a 'merry' heart does good and is like medicine. It heals, it helps, it grows.



 
Philippians 4:8-9 The Message (MSG)

 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.


You really are what you think about. Start to declare and decree what God says about you instead of what you feel.  Don't let feelings be your god.  God says you are wonderfully and perfectly made. You are precious, more precious than silver or gold. God says you are the apple of His eye, and you are chosen by Him - out of all the people of the earth.  He has plans for you - for prosperity and a future, to do good and not harm to you. You have value, even the very hairs of your head are numbered.  And He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are not alone - ever!  Thank you Jesus!
