What are you looking for?

So yesterday my mom call’s me and tells me she bought 5 pairs of shoes at Payless. And she got 5 pairs for under $50. So naturally, I went to payless. (I swear I don’t like shopping)…

So I get there and read a sign telling me that any shoe with a red tag is now $5 or $10. There were hundreds of shoes, but I was only paying attention and looking at the one’s with the red tag.

So I saw the shoes with red tags, and the hundreds of other shoes that were present, and within my view, I didn’t see. (Thank God!)

My point here is this. You will see what It is you’ve set intention to see. If your mind is focused on negative thoughts, you will see negative things around you. If you focus each thought on goodness, thankfulness, positivity, blessings, that is in turn what you will see and notice in your life.

Sure, both may be present, within view, just like there were sale shoes AND regular priced shoes, but I saw what I intended to see… the sale.

There may be difficult things in your life, as well as boundless blessings, both may be present, but what will affect you most is what you give your attention to. Will it be the blessings, or the difficulties?

What is it you are looking for?

Phillipians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
