What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
Both positive and negative events are beneficial for our lives. Positive events give us hope, and negative events help us grow and learn.
As human beings we tend to focus on negative events rather than positive ones, meaning negative experiences often have a stronger impact on our emotions and memory.
We have to change of perspective on negative events, and see them as growing and learning experiences, which can lead to positive outcomes.
Over the last year, my relationship with family has grown stronger. I let my beliefs be known more, and help shape lives rather than feel like I’m invading on a person’s privacy. If they tell me, and another family member tells me of a struggle they’re having. I tell them I can help with that, and instead of them thinking I’m in their business, they accept the help. With has led to positive outcomes -at least so far.
The positive is I’m getting closer to family, and it may give me a chance to tell them about Jesus who will transform their lives. if the Holy Spirit leads me to. If you know me at all, it’s not about pushing my beliefs on anyone, but it’s about loving them first, and then listening and obeying what the Holy Spirit leads you to say.
