Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Hope it
was top of your agenda this morning!
It’s
very important for us to take responsibility for our attitudes! John Maxwell reminds us that “If we want
today to be a good day, we need to take charge of the way we look at it.”
Think
for a moment about the people in your life that have really made a difference
for you. When we display a good
attitude, we are showing that we value the people God has put in our lives.
“You can’t dislike people and have a good attitude at the same time. Have you ever met anyone who always treated
people badly but had a positive attitude?
Likewise, you cannot have a bad attitude and encourage others at the
same time. Encouraging others means
helping people, looking for the best in them, and trying to bring out their
positive qualities. That process drives
negative thoughts right out of your head!” (Make Today Count)
Philippians
2:5 teaches: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.” Would you say that you pass that
test? Does your attitude replicate the
attitude of Jesus….one of humility and love serving others?
Though
none of us will ever measure up to Jesus, we can pray that He will help us to
become more and more like Him every day.
Let’s CHOOSE to treat everyone with the same kind and joyful attitude
that Jesus modeled before us.
May we drink in the joy of Jesus and pray
daily that our attitude will become more & more like His!
