Inspirational for today

Trish, remember? Just the other day, we were talking about, or I was having a discourse about the subject of putting things, events, etc, in the proper perspective. Here's a good follow up on that subject.

When Life Hands You Hurts . . .

By Dr. Robert Schuller

Ask the question, What's the worst that can happen? Believe that, with all your positive-thinking faith, you'll be able to handle the worst! For the worst has been faced by thousands, perhaps millions, of other positive-thinking human beings before you. They were not overwhelmed by this "worst," and often they overwhelmed the worst when it hit. So will you if the worst really happens, only to collide with a positive Spiritual Power inside you!

"God sends no more hurt than we can bear" is the testimony of millions of persons who have experienced horrific hurts.

But what humans cannot handle is a mystery. So take your pain and fear out of the unreliable realm of negative fantasy and exaggerated imagination by asking the question, What's the worst that can happen? Face this prospect, for you as a God-inspired human are more than a match for the worst! You can, after all, face death, as we all surely will one day, and we're ready for that because our Leader and Lord, Jesus Christ, showed us how to get through that valley!
