God said:
Let’s face it. Most of the time you fear life, and too often you look at the down side. Here is the sort of caterwauling that I hear from you:
"What will happen if I lose my job? What if I get evicted from my home? What if I lose my insurance?"
Whatever your worries may be, there is something you fear losing. For you, life is often a game you play against betrayal. Someone, or life, is going to take something away from you. You live in fear.
Here’s what to do. Change the game. Instead of living in fear of loss, be glad for what you have now. Be glad. Be glad for this meal. Be glad for this day at work. Be glad for your home. Bless where you live when you come home, and bless where you work. Bless.
To be glad is another way to say to be grateful. To be grateful is another way to say to count your blessings. There has been enough counting your fears.
Certainly, it takes courage to live in life, for life can tip over. Life can knock you out of your element. Life can also reach new heights. Sure, anything in life can reverse itself.
What is so difficult about being optimistic? Is being pessimistic a better idea? So then you can proudly say you are realistic? Where does that take you, beloveds? Being realistic is like pulling your own hair and then crying that it hurts.
