I’m Optimistic

“I’m Optimistic”
If I were to pour a pitcher of water into a regular glass in the middle of your kitchen what would you think? Would you think “What a Mess that will make” or “That’s Overflowing”? What if I told you that’s how Jesus pours His blessings out on you every morning…to OVERFLOW! The perspective we have on them is what makes all of the difference! When we see our cup runneth over how do we react?

4 Reasons I’m Optimistic

  1. My SINS are FORGIVEN
    • No matter what happens to me, in Christ my sins are forgiven! I’m gonna say that one more time so you can do a little shout & dance…IN CHRIST MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN!
  2. JESUS is on My SIDE! Philippians 4:4-7
    • Paul reminds us that no matter what we aren’t alone & we aren’t afraid to ask Jesus for what we need.
    • The biggest thing to remember is to have the perspective of “Thanksgiving” when we pray. Be thankful for Jesus doing what you are asking before you do it & watch Him move!
  3. My REWARD is PEACE! Philippians 4:8-9
    • Paul’s focus isn’t on the chains that man has placed on him, but instead on the Freedom he has in Christ. He reminds the Philippians that they are in freedom & to stop walking as if they are in chains
    • We must train our minds to focus on Christ and our reward is Peace through that!
  4. GOD is working Everything in My LIFE  for GOOD! Philippians 4:10-13
    • No Matter what our circumstances we can be optimistic because we are not defined by our circumstance but by our Father in Heaven!
    • No matter what we are chained by God is still using it to His glory! We serve a good good Father who only wants good gifts for His children! He can take even death and turn it into life! No matter what you are going through you can be optimistic God is going to use it for your good and His glory!

Take Away:
Write down the 3 things you want to be known for?

 

Now when you look in the mirror every morning do you see those 3 things in you? If not, know that you have those 3 things in you! Seek God to grow in those 3 things!

Challenge:
Fight hard to go 3 days straight without a negative thought! If you get a negative thought you restart trying for 3 days straight!

Founder and Lead Pastor of thevine.tv Realtor® with The Ott Group at Ponce Realty Group LLC (www.theponcerealtygroup.com) Theodore Roosevelt describes in “The Arena” a man who boldly stepped out of the seats & into the Arena! The Arena I get to fight in is to help others live an abundant life by finding the gifts that God has given them and helping them take their next step by fulfilling the calling God has on their lives! Growing up in a widowed home from the age of 2, I experienced the dependence of faith, the importance of family, the foundation of integrity, the value of loyalty and the success that can be achieved through hard work. Whether expanding Walgreens from 4000 to 8000 healthcare stores, or stepping out in faith to be a part of launching a NewSpring Church Campus--faith, family, integrity, loyalty and hard work are fingerprints of me being involved! Each experience I have stepped into has allowed me to develop invaluable relationships that have not only achieved remarkable results, but more importantly made an impact on the lives of others that will last beyond this lifetime...a cause worthy to fight for! Can't wait to see how Jesus continues to #JoinSpartanburg at #thevinetv and the Local Church Around the World!
