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
