I Challenge You Today To Do the Opposite

Can I challenge you to do something today?

For every negative thought you have say something positive.

      **"Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8

For every complaint you have say something encouraging.

       **"Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." Ephesians 4:29

For every thought of doubt you have, think of God's faithfulness.

      **"For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds." Psalm 57:10

If you have an enemy, show them mercy.

       **"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32

Instead of getting angry, express love.

       **"Love is patient and kind." 1 Corinthians 13:4

If you are holding records of wrong, destroy them.

       **"Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged." 1 Corinthians 13:5

Rather than focus on yourself and demand your way, your opinion, your wants, focus on someone else and their needs.

      **"Love does not demand its own way." 1 Corinthians 13:5

Every chance you get today, tell someone about God's faithfulness and love. 

And every time someone comes to your mind say a prayer for them and ask God to bless them.
