Finding the beauty in the ashes

We as people have a propensity (big word for habit of) to point out the negative.  You know what I mean.... "Did you see _____ hair?" or "Uh , ____ can't sweep right."

Did you know that it takes more strength and creativity to find the positive in most cases!  We are called to be encouragers.  If it weren't an issue,  God wouldn't reiterate it in His Word over and over again.  So today encourage those you meet with a kind word that lifts up rather than tears down. 

We need to re-train our brains to see the positive rather than focusing on the negative.  All people have good and bad in them.  We are sinners saved by God's grace!
