I was driving to work and there it was a gorgeous house on the hill displayed for all to see. I stared at it (for a split second so I could safely observe so it's okay). I see it every time I'm driving t work, but this time it really stuck out with the gleam of the sunrise on it (I was heading to work early to meet a lady for Yoga Class, which was crazy awesome). As I watched I couldn't help, but have envy of this gorgeous house. I desired it sooooo much. I slowly began to realize, Woah, if this mansion was built by human hand, how much better will heaven be? If God spent 6 days to build EARTH, how long did He spend on heaven?
Look at the picture I posted, can you believe Heaven will be far better than this? Oh my goodness! My mind can't grasp it, if yours does please tell me.
Another story. There was a lady who came in to work two days ago, she was looking for her Loreal lotion. The entire time she was saying,"I don't know why I'm here, I'm not going to find it" and similar things. My coworker, Cara, goes over and finds it in 2 seconds and the lady is so thankful and it makes her entire day. Cara then proceeded to tell me,"You see Ryan, if you don't believe you can find something that is really there you won't, but if you believe you can the you will."
God Moment... Ballin!
She was negative from the beginning and for the first time I could see. I am very visual person, same with guys in general, it's a fat. Seeing this take place showed me the bigger picture of this negative behavior. I didn't focus on the lady as much as the situation. How often are we so caught up in the likelihood of a situation rather than the capability, like I was driving home and the same homeless guy is always there, I always give him some change but today I gave him a couple dollars, I could have focused on the likelihood of him getting booze or drugs with the money or the life changing possibility that my dollar bills would be the ones to make the difference and help him turn his life around. I'm going to try to make him a sandwich once a week and sticky note a bible verse to the bag, a new one each week:) Negativity doesn't help.
Optimism is KEY
"So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while."
1 Peter 1:6
