Word for the day "Be careful of negative thinking"

Numbers 14:37 (HCSB) Those men who spread the negative report about the land were struck down by the Lord.From many of our experiences, we know that it is easy to criticize others. And we know that it is usually far easier to find faults than to find solutions. Still, the tendency to criticize others remains a powerful trapping for most of us.Negativity is highly contagious: We give it to others who, in turn, give it back to us. This endless-negative cycle can be broken only by positive thoughts, heartfelt prayers, encouraging words, and meaningful acts of kindness.As thoughtful servants of a loving God, we have no valid reason, and no legitimate excuse to be negative. So, when we are ready to be overly critical of others, or unfairly critical of ourselves, we must use the transforming power of God’s love to break the chains of negativity. We must defeat negativity before negativity defeats us.Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support in the month of January 2018 by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season: Special thanks to Mr. William Wilson, Ms. Annette Straker, Mr. Kenneth Washington, and Gertrude Scott.
