LOOKING FOR THE GOOD

 







LOOKING FOR THE GOOD


Have you ever had THINGS

Go wrong in your life?

Of course you have

Who hasn't?


I try to stay CLOSE

To God=and after bad things happen=

I always ask him

To BRING something GOOD

Out of this bad situation


And of course=God can

And DOES=He is always looking

For the POSITIVE


“O Lord=I am your SERVANT”                                                                                  Psalm 116:16


I ask God for a RESOLUTION

That fixes it=that involves

NO loss of life


And hopefully no loss of

Material possessions=

Or even MY PRIDE


LOOKING FOR THE GOOD=

But more than that

I ask God

To USE ME=to use

My situation

To bring about SOME GOOD


I'll bet you=you do this too

We are all

SERVANTS OF GOD


LOOKING FOR THE GOOD

IN LIFE


“Not so with you=

Instead whoever

Wants to be

Great among you


Must be your SERVANT

And whoever

Wants to be first

Must be your slave”                                                                                                  Matthew 20:26-27


“Rather he made

Himself nothing


By taking the

Very nature

Of a SERVANT


Being made=In human likeness”                                                                              Philippians 2:7


“And the LORD'S SERVANT

Must not be quarrelsome


But must be

KIND to everyone=

Able to teach-

Not resentful”                                                                                                             2 Timothy 2:24


Yes=mo matter

What happens in life=

We must PRAY

For the Lord

To BRING GOOD-

Out of it


We must be

LOOKING FOR THE GOOD


Whatever good that is=

Maybe greater HUMILITY-

Maybe a little CLOSER

To God and Jesus


Maybe a LESSON

That might help us

Later in life


Just keep praying

Just keep LOOKING

For the GOOD

And you will be

A TRUE SERVANT of God


“His master replied=

'Well done=GOOD

And faithful SERVANT'”                                                                                     Matthew 25:21


Dear Lord=we PRAY

That we stay open

To you


And that you BRING GOOD

Out of our lives=

Today=and every day


May we KEEP LOOKING

FOR THE GOOD

Even in our mistakes


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER GOOD FATHER
