A Negative Thought-Today's Soul Moment

No matter how hard we try, by about 10 am we've probably had a negative thought. If you've looked at the news, and started worrying over the Chinese cyber attacks, you've had a negative thought. If you've broken a dish and gotten frustrated with yourself, you've had a negative thought. If you realize you forgot to pick up coffee when you went to the store the other day and want to cry because you're out, that is a negative thought. (I didn't learn that last one from experience, I promise)

Philippians 4:8 says

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

See, instead of finding all of the dark places, looking for the pressure and pain, and crying over the rainstorms, try finding the stars, remembering the diamonds that come from the pressure, and counting your rainbows. You can put all of your energy into finding the bad, or you can use it to look for the good. It's all a matter of perspectives.
