Christ and Negativity

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.
