Good day to you all! Don’t let the weather man dictate to you what kind of day you are going to have! God can bless you in the rain, and when it’s partly cloudy with a chance of participation. The Son never stops shining on us!
I have the intention today to make you smile. I have a strong desire for you to feel the joy that God has planted inside of you. It is there today and everyday! Today I want you to focus. I want you to focus on those things that are good, and make you smile. Whether that is a memory, or a song, or maybe even a smell. If there is something that can take you to a place that brings joy to your heart, I want you to focus because whatever you focus on that is what you will see. If you want to see good things, focus on good things! If you want to see a miracle, focus on the miraculous things that God has done in your life. If you want to see love, focus on loving someone who needs love.
Dear Reader today I invite you to break the bad habit of focusing all of you attention and your energy in the wrong areas of your life. You are in charge of your thoughts! Happiness is a choice, and I want you to choose to be happy. Don’t let anyone bury your joy under a pile of doubt. Don’t let anyone highjack your dreams and hold them hostage by tying them up with self doubt. I want you to stay mission minded. I want you to move towards what God has for you! Turn a deaf ear to anyone that would turn you around. Don’t think that the enemy will give up on trying to bring your attention to the negative. There will be a relentless pursuit of the wallet in your mind to get you to pay attention to the bad times and the sad times. Oh but when they do Dear Reader, I want you to take a second to let them know, I’m focused man. If they persist you can give them Nehemiah 6:3 which says: And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” Whenever you feel like your past is too great for you to overcome meditate on the words that Paul wrote in Philippians 3:12-14; Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Keep pressing forward and forget what lies ahead because your future is bright, and God is not done blessing you. Stay focused!
You are beautiful, loved and blessed
John Reed
