Have you ever wondered...

Have you ever wondered why people react the way they do? Why they only have negative things to say?

I have come to find that individuals that only see negative things have lost a key factor that is important to have a productive life. This key factor is HOPE! Webster’s defines "Hope" as having the ability to cherish a desire with anticipation; to expect with confidence. If an individual has not been exposed to hope they normally aren’t able to offer the results which come with hope… joy, happiness, peace, love, long suffering (Gal.5 the fruit of the spirit). The word of God states in Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (This verse is saying until you renew or change your mind you will be unable to see the truth or positively affect anyone or anything. Once the change in thought and surroundings occur hope will be able to operate; it’s like the faith the size of a mustard seed. As you continue to cultivate the seed the more growth you will see manifest.

Once you receive Hope your able to achieve dreams, goals and ambitions that we desire. When individuals lack hope they are unable to process things that offer joy, happiness, a sense of accomplishment. Within the word you don't find hope a lot but its parallel to the word Faith. In Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Which means it takes some effort on our parts to help develop this attribute within our own lives.

I found that people can only offer you what they have experienced in life. If they have only known sorrow and poverty then that’s all they can offer until they come to a place of renewing their minds so they can be exposed to the good life that God wants us to have here and in heaven. When you renew your mind your thought process changes, your actions shift from the old way of thinking to new thoughts, new sight and visions that you have been predestined for you. According to the word of God Romans 12:2 says And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

In this hour God is calling for us to operate and function in helping with changing the way people think, the way they function and how they see life. You may ask how by living the word of God and showing the one thing that people don’t see often LOVE in his purest form.
