People are very apt to find what they seek. You have noticed that people who go about looking for trouble, practically always find it. The popular proverb, “Listeners seldom hear good of themselves,” is an example. We also know people who love to say that they never have any luck. When things seem to go against them, they exclaim triumphantly, “Wouldn’t you know it?—that is what always happens to me!”
Now, such a mistaken person needs only to alter this habit and he will automatically alter his life. It is often difficult to get such people to make this alteration, but if they do the result is never in doubt. Spiritual law says that it is never too late to mend, and that when we seek God’s help we find it.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth;for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:22).
We see what we expect. Two people in separate cars sitting in morning traffic can see two totally different worlds. One driver sees a beautiful blue sky and rolls down the window to feel the cool breeze and smell the moist morning air. The other sees a traffic jam and lays on their horn while cursing the other drivers, the sun in their eyes and the cold winter blast that chills their bones.
We find that for which we look. If we are looking for blessings, kindness, joy, peace and hope, with God’s help and guidance we will find it. If we are looking for anger, discontent, meanness and misfortune on our own, we will find it also. And when look for blessings in misfortune, that we will find also. Just as we will find misfortunes within our blessings if it is misfortune we expect.
So, let us set our eyes, hearts and minds on joy, gratitude and the expectation of God’s blessings so that they pour into our lives as sunlight does from the beauty of a blue sky that fills our days. As the old song says, “Keep on the sunny side of life. It will lighten up our way and brighten up our day, if we…”
Sunny side up,
