As humans, we are, by nature, a negative people. We always latch on to the
most negative thing first instead of the positive things. We concentrate on the
bad things of the world. When we wake up in the morning, the majority of humans
think first about all the bad things that could and will happen during that
day. And during the day, we fly towards evil and negative things instead of the
positive things in this world. See? A negative people.
Jesus, on the other hand, is the world's biggest optimist. He delights in
the truth and always does what is right. He and his angels have a party with
every soul saved and he always holds out hope for even the most difficult
human. You can be the most bull-headed mule but he won't give up on you.
And when he does write your name in the book of life, it is time for things
to start changing. As I said before, we fly to the negative things of the
world, but with Jesus living in us, now we need to start heading for the right
things in the world.
On our own strength, such a feat is impossible but with Jesus' help, all
things are possible. We can do all things with Jesus' help and right now we
should be trying to head to the positive things. Jesus enables us to do it.
But just because Jesus’ enables us to do it doesn't immediately make it easy
to do. It is still hard to do the right thing and we still have the choice to
pick the wrong thing. Just because Jesus lives in you doesn't mean that you
have lost your choice, but with Jesus in your life, you want to choose the
right thing.
