Reflecting on, thinking about, filling one's mind with positive, good, honest and beautiful things is not easy. Well, not for me, that is. In today's world where there is so much ugliness, bitterness, anger and sorrow, the beauty seems to be disappearing.
However, in Philippians 4:8 Paul tells us to meditate on, to think about good things. This takes time; it is not a quick flash in the mind. Therefore, as we take time to look for the positive in the murky waters of life, we will begin to see the gems. We will see that tiny, perfectly formed flower amongst the weeds; we will see the pearl in the oyster; we will see the smile on the face of a passer-by and we will begin to see God's touch in our lives and in our hearts.
Meditate on, reflect on the treasures...
