Power of the positive

There is power to be found in positive thinking. Negative energy drains you. Negative or critical feelings rob an individual of the energy needed to live. It tears down, destroys, obliterates, wipes out, annihilates, demolishes, diminishes and devastates the spirit.

Positive is a life force. It brings an individual into harmony with the God of the universe – who is pure energy. A positive attitude, thinking, behavior, and belief builds up, strengthens, fortifies, reinforces, supports and increases the good in life.

The choice is ours as to which side we join ... one is bright, the other is dark ... one is filled with hope and possibilities, the other negates any effort … one leads to happiness and purpose in life, the other brings brokenness and meaningless. The choice is ours.

A chorus of a song kept running through my mind while walking among the palm trees of the Caribbean Islands … “Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.” Negative feelings and thinking can transform our spirit into a bitter, soar tasting fruit or the Holy Spirit can transform our spirit into a positive, sweet tasting fruit. It is our choice.
