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).
That which we look for is that which we see. Two people riding down the same stretch of road may see two different worlds. One could be angry and seeing nothing but bad, while the other could be happy and see nothing but good. The only difference is their point of view.
Look for good, look for love, peace, faith and hope; in short, look for God. When we look for the best, search in earnest and follow God’s will, we will find our best good. That is living in the garden, the one for which we were created.
Looking for God’s good,
Z gardener
