Negative or Positive

May 6, 2025

I could kick myself. I almost made a huge mistake last night that could have been really ugly. I got almost finished with my project and suddenly realized that it was all wrong. One more minute and I would have had a nasty mess on my hands — one that would have been hard to get past. 

I can’t believe I did that. 
I knew better. 
I shudder to think about how close I came to disaster. 

But do you know what? I did NOT make the mistake. 
I did NOT make a mess. 
I did NOT let anybody down. 

I figured it out. 
I caught it. 
I did it correctly. 

Why is it that instead of focusing on the positive outcome and congratulating ourselves even for a moment, we roll around in the muck and focus on the negative for hours and hours on end?

LORD, help us to see past the negative things in our lives and to focus on what is good — what is positive. Help us to focus on you.
