It sounds simple, and it is simple, but the hard part is learning to look for the good....training your mind and heart to look for good....expecting to see good.
I don't know about you, but I tend to be optimistic. And even though I 'tend' to be that way, too often I'm looking for the bad instead of the good. It's something I need to work on and work on it daily. Maybe you do, too.
So for today, I'm going to look for the good. I'm going to expect the good. I see good, often, but I want to look for the good in everything. I want to be optimistic. I want to be positive. I want to rid my mind and heart of the negative. How about you? Want to join me?
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. Matthew 12:35
Good verse! We all like to tell our stories and try to commiserate with the hurting one, but you are right. Sometimes they do not encourage. We need to THINK before speaking. Something we preached to our kids so many times...
