Perspective

Is your glass half full or half empty?  Life's situations are much the same.  Are you half way to Heaven, or half way to hell?  Or do you care?

Sometimes we see our life as how bad we are and how much better we could be.  This is fine as long as we don't beat ourself up in the process.  You are in your place in life because God put you there for reasons unknown to you.  Being hard on yourself only leads to depressive thoughts and is an open invitation to addictive and compulsive behaviours.  If we can't trust anyone, then we have to trust God because we will fail miserably on our own..

 

Psalm 143:7-8  "Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life."

 

Putting your complete trust in Jesus Christ allows you to know that somebody has your back, and as long as you stay true to God and not blame Him for negative things in your life, then He will guide your steps and keep you from harm.
