These are the Good Old Days

'I tell you now is the time of God's favour, now is the day of salvation.'
2 Corinthians 6:2

I heard about a couple on holiday who saw a lovely Cornish dream cottage with great views and roses creeping round the old front door. As the man gazed at the cottage, he said to his wife, 'There's no way we could ever buy a place like that!', but then right there deep inside himself something said, 'Don't worry, you never will live in a place like that.' The man instantly realised that his own thoughts and attitudes were condemning him.

It's the same way with us. Our negative thoughts and attitudes can so easily condemn us never to expect that anything good could happen to us! The trouble with that type of thinking is what we fail to believe on the 'inside' we often fail to receive on the 'outside'.

It is so easy to lose our spark and never seek to do something that's really going to be meaningful or make a difference in our world because we've been conditioned usually by our British mind set that things can't and won't happen!

What we've got to realise is that 'in and through our relationship with Christ' that these are great days to be living in and way in the future we will even say, 'Hey they were the good old days!' To live that best life now we must look at life through the 'eyes of faith!' See your business take off! See your marriage enriched! See your debts paid. See your loved ones won to Christ and your family doing well! See your Church grow.

If you can't believe or conceive it on the inside it will never happen on the outside, you must have that hope in every part of your being.
