A New Beginning, and A Hopeful Future...

Positivity seems to have become one of the vain endeavors in mankind's journey towards the day when we will see the One who created us from the dust which He created. We find it to be so difficult to keep a mindset that focuses on the eternal life which we each live, and the destination which dictates our journey. The choice which echoes throughout eternity like an anthem of time. We have allowed the negativity of the culture to permeate each of us with a tongue of despite and extreme criticism. We have become the PC generation that the previous generation so longed to be. Where has it gotten us? Nowhere. Hatred, hypocrisy, and judgementalism have become the monikers that a lost and dying world has placed on us, and as a result God has become a hate monger in the sight of many who do not understand him.

What has this brought the message to? A standstill....

Jesus in his darkest of hours had the wants and needs of others in the front of his own mind, and knowingly sacrificed himself to those who despised the positive message that He brought. Jesus never lost sight of the goal and in the worst of situations saw the positive outcome of what was going to take place. This message is one of peace, love, grace, truth, and hope. This is a message we have abandoned for a message of despair, despite, damnation, and destitution. It has begun to produce a fruitless and empty faith among the Followers of Christ, and is destroying the Body of Christ like a cancer. Those who had made that choice to change themselves for the glory of God have forgotten their higher calling. Those who left the world, but still dwell in the world. Those who are willing and wanting to make an impact in what seems to be such a negative time. We can be the light in the darkness that Christ has called us to be, and make an impact on people's perception of God and the Church. It all begins with salvation, and a PUSH TO BE POSITIVE....
