Good Morning Beloved! Today, I present to you THE OPTIMISM CHALLEGE! I challenge you to spend the next 7 days being positive and speaking positive things to yourself, to others and about others. Look for the good and not the bad in every situation. Minimize your exposure to negative influences. Avoid complaining about anything...from the bad driver to the husband who keeps the toilet seat up. Lol! Life is about to be very different for you and for me. If you accept, in the comment section, say, I accept the challenge! Yeah! You WIN! You can stop reading...BUT for those of you who think this is some psychology mumbo jumbo...keep reading... I woke up this morning and asked the Lord, What should I put on Facebook today? I fell asleep and about an hour later I woke up with the idea of this optimism challenge coming to me. Attached with this heavenly idea was a particular scripture as the reason the Holy Spirit was inspiring this. Not a common verse. Not one I think about. But it came to my spirit. Ready for the scripture? You sure....its tough...but here it is...James 5:9...Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned [judged]. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! Wow! In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...Lol...the Holy Spirit showed me that many of His people are living under judgement because of the negative words they speak about the body of Christ. The good news is, you can remove the judgement by changing you attitude and your words. Your words MATTER! So speak life and uplift your brothers and sisters in Christ in private and in public! ***Special note: Preachers and teachers...the same Jesus that uses you and manifests Himself through you is the same Jesus that MONITORS your speech about His people and inner attitude towards His people. Dont ever forget that! The apostle Paul had the same revelation...look at what he says, in Philipins 2:14-16, 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. God bless you as you choose to LIVE OPTIMISIC! Remember, the Judge is standing at the door! Selah!
