Postitive VS Negative

So today I am chewing on positive things vs negative things. And how so many times you can have so many positive things going for ya and the BAM! One negative comes and all the positives fly outa your mind! Why is that? Why is it easier to focus on the glass being half empty vs being half full? Some people say it's just personality, but I think it's more than that. Yes, personality problem enhances it, but I don't think it's the cause. When you start to focus on the negative then discouragement comes in like a flood. Once discouragement settles in than comes all those depressing thoughts and thoughts of giving up. I can't tell you how many times over the last year this has defeated me. AND just last night I got made about it! I was in a great mood, had a great time at Paradigm and came home and BAM hit with a negative situation. But you know those 'negative' things, really don't have to be a negative to you. I believe (or I say I do, sometimes my actions say differently!) Anyhow, I believe that all things work together for those who love God! I love God therefore He WILL work ALL things together for MY good! So much easier to say than to really live life that way isn't it? But going back to the beginning, I was enlightened last night that negatives in all reality come from him...the evil, despicable, conniver satan himself. Because if he can get in your mind and make you believe that these things are negative and then you let those thoughts turn to depressing thoughts then depression will come. Once in depression all life seems pointless and you will give up. But I've got news for him today! This chick is not gonna give up! You know that song where it says 'There's pain in the offering' well, even though there's pain I will still offer what He has given me! You know, He was rejected before we ever were! Anyhow say all that to say this is where I'm at folks. And yet a smile will still remain on my face, and I will CHOOSE to rejoice in whatever state I am, and I will CHOOSE to live for His glory! Enough said.
