Have you ever known of, or heard of, anyone who hasn't experienced some negatives in their lives? Have you experienced negatives? What did you do with those negatives?
- have you let them go?
- do they still rub you raw?
- do you carry them around inside and massage them (regrets, pity, shame)?
- or, did you learn from those negatives, turned them into positives, and move on?
Doesn't life itself, especially those parts of our lives over which we have absolutely no control, bring us all face to face with negatives (not of our own doing)? Sure it does. And that is why we really have no business carrying the baggage of our own negatives. Doesn't it sound plausible that if we always make it a point to deal with our own negatives, learn from them, and grow from them that we would then be better equipped to instinctively react better to those that come at us from outside of our realm of control?
There is one major outcome of facing our negatives and owning them....dealing with them in a christian manner....
we grow. And when we grow, all of those around us are more blessed by our being....our family, our friends, and most of all ourselves.
How photogenic is your life? Are you developing from the negatives that come your way?
