Have a hard time dealing with all the negative and outright evil news?

The Christians of Philippi might have had their lives stained by continually letting their thoughts dwell on what they could not help seeing and hearing and feeling.  But they were told to consciously thing of things that were true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good.

"If there by any virtue, any praise, think on these things."  Phil. 4:8

We must make a conscious effort to look at the good in the world and those around us.

MARRIAGE

Let the wife see that she respects her husband.  Eph. 5:33

Lord, Your spirit can show us how we hurt each other.   

What ever is true, honest,

pure, lovely, good, if there is any virtue, any praise thing about these things.   Phil 4:8  

This includes talking about each other!

One of the secrets of happiness is to think of happy things.

Follow My rules, faithfully honor, esteem, value your spouse.  

Love simplicity.

The daily call of surrender and obedience.

I weep over lives that seek to live without My sustaining power.

They will not come to Me that they might have life.

Live to bring others to Me,

the only source of happiness and heart peace. -God Calling

Servants obey in everything your bosses, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, 

but with singleness of purpose,

with all your heart,

because of your reverence for God and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him.

Whatever your task,

work at it heartily as from the soul,

as something done for God and not for man.

Do not be over come with evil,

but overcome, master evil with good.

If your enemy is hungry then feed him.   Romans 12
