God Takes My Choices, Mistakes, And Failures, And Turns Them Into Something Good
Double Exposure
Double Exposure
Life is a double exposure, and you must not mistake the shadow for the real thing. God sees things as they really are, while I see only the shadows. God sees possibilities when I only see problems. God has a plan for my life that is better than anything I can imagine, while my own plans are truncated by doubt and fear. God sees my life from start to finish, while I have trouble seeing the next step. God sees things that can be, while I see things through the lens of my past. I would be downright discouraged were it not for the fact that no matter what happens, God can use it for something good.
After being run over by the Mac Truck of Life on more than one occasion, I have learned to trust God in the hard times. When I look at the picture of my life, I know that this side of eternity, I don't yet see the true picture. I look at my shadows with the full knowledge that God sees the real picture, and He is going to take my choices, mistakes, failures, and apparent disasters, and turn them into something good.
Trusting God is especially important when bad things happen. When a tornado of fear rips through your life, God can use that for something good. When the tsunami of discouragement and depression sweep over you, God can use that for something good. When a hurricane of doubt assails your dreams, God can use that for something good. When the tremors of your past shake your present and future, God can use that for something good.
Bad things happen to good people all of the time. Sometimes they bring bad on themselves by poor choices that they make. At other times, bad things strike like a bolt out of the blue without rhyme or reason. Bad things just happen to the good and bad alike.
When you try to make sense of the human situation, it's easy to wonder if anyone is out there, and if anyone cares. Surely God could keep bad things from happening to the innocent.
After living for six decades, it's abundantly clear that life is a rite of passage in which we suffer and succeed, but suffering and success are not the end game. The real cosmic drama unfolds when suffering and success reveal who we are. It reveals whether we trust in the arm of flesh or in the love of God. It reveals whether we are grounded in time or eternity. It reveals whether we crumble and flee in the face of adversity, or whether we stand our ground and fight the good fight.
We have a hammer and anvil existence. Edwin Markham said it better than anyone:
For all your days be prepared, and meet them ever alike.
When you are the anvil, bear - when you are the hammer, strike. Edwin Markham
That is exactly where we live each day of our lives - between the hammer and anvil.
We go through periods where we have an anvil-like existence as adversity pummels us month after relentless month. The list of adversities is unlimited. Financial problems, depression, cancer, accidents, poor choices, bad decisions, and sometimes we suffer collateral damage from the destructive choices made by other people.
Nobody wants to be an anvil and everyone wants to be a hammer. A few months of being the anvil can suck all the joy out of your life, and you hunker down hoping that things will improve.
When things get really bad, you face a monumental choice. Are you going to become bitter, shake your fist at life, curse God, and die. Or are you going to do like Job who said, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust him."
Job lost everything including his health. There were times when it seemed like God was trying to kill him. It would have been easy to wonder if there was anyone out there, and if anybody cared. And if Job did that, he would have taken the easy way out.
But Job knew that there was no dark side to God. Bad things happen to good people all the time, and when they happen, they still trust God. That is why Job could say, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust him." Nothing could dissuade him of the goodness of God. Job knew how to be the anvil, and no matter how hard he got hammered by life, he still trusted God.
Job knew two important things that carried him through his anvil experience.
1. He knew that God has no dark side.
2. He knew that the hammer of God is love.
If you believe that God has a dark side, you have no way of making sense out of life when bad things happen.
It could be that you are experiencing God's dark side, and He is striking you with one-hundred thousand punishing volts to teach you a lesson. On the other hand, you could be just having a bad day, bad month, or very bad year.
Lots of people believe that when bad things happen, they are being punished by God for the wrong things they have done. They believe that God spends his time micromanaging their lives with a rod of iron. Everytime something bad happens, they climb into the electric chair of life, and they believe that God turns on the current.
I have news for people who believe that God has a dark side. They are simply wrong. God doesn't make bad things happen to good people.
Everyone needs to understand that THE HAMMER OF GOD IS LOVE.
God is shaping you and making you into all that you can be using his hammer of love. God is good, and He is good all the time. When He strikes with his hammer of love, good things always happen.
If bad things are happening in your life, it is not God who is making those things happen. God's hammer of love takes all the bad things that happen and turns them into something good.
God can use every experience and make something good come out of it.
If divorce comes into your life, God can use that.
If cancer comes into your life, God can use that.
If financial disaster comes into your life, God can use that.
If depression comes into your life, God can use that.
Every disaster you experience qualifes you to help other people experiencing the same challenge. The more disasters you experience, the greater your qualifications to help other people going through the same thing.
I have known thousands of people who feel like they have messed up their lives in a major way, and they are tempted to surrender to despair. They feel as if their failures have disqualified them from being loved and used by God. The truth is exactly the reverse.
Those who have failed and fallen short need to know that the mess they made of their lives will become their message when the hammer of God's love makes them into a new person. The fact that they have been living at the bottom of the barrel gives them unique qualifications that will be used by God to change the lives of millions of people who also feel down and out.
You may feel down, but you are never out, because the hammer of God's love is going to make your life into something beautiful.
Life is a double exposure, and your job is to ignore your shadows and to leave the big picture to God. No matter what happens or how bad it gets, your job is to trust God to turn it into something good.
Life is a rite of passage designed to discover the stuff from which you are made.
Don't allow yourself to be a pitiful soul making bun prints in the sands of time perpetually whining and complaining that life isn't fair. It's simply too hard, and it's not worth the effort.
Instead, look forward to the challenges and battles that you must face, because they are your road to greatness. And if your soul is to ever become great, it will be because you never surrendered to fear and failure, and you kept on keeping on.
No one is ever born great. Greatness comes to those who move forward in the face of adversity, and no matter what happens, they trust in God.
Great people trust in God because they know that He will take their lives and turn them into something good. They will become a sharp instrument in the hand of a loving God.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, GOD CAN USE IT FOR SOMETHING GOOD

Positive Self-Talk Silver Book
You can change who you are by changing what you say when you talk to your mind. Just be sure you are speaking a language your mind understands. Your brain speaks to you in its own language, and if you speak to it in the same way, it immediately responds in a powerful fashion. That’s why change proceeds most rapidly when you talk to yourself using the language of the mind. If you don’t speak the language of the mind, you may as well stop talking until you learn it. The three most powerful components of the language of the mind are images, sounds, and emotions. When my brain wants to get my attention, it does not send a text or an email. It blows me away with sights, sounds, and emotions. If you want to get your brain’s attention, you need to do the same thing. Send a message full of sights, sounds, and emotions. Start speaking the language that your mind understands. Positive Self-Talk Silver Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book
Many people believe change is impossible. Most of the time they are confusing personality with personal behavior. The basic human personality is relatively constant over time, but human behavior can and does change. Personal change happens when people change the way they think. I have numerous patients formerly addicted to meth, cocaine, heroine, and alcohol, who escaped their addictions without ever going to rehab for treatment. They simply arrived at a point in their life where they no longer wanted to be prisoners of their addictions. They had experienced enough misery to last ten lifetimes, and they said no more. They changed their belief about who they are and what they can do with their life, and they became a different person who was chemical free. I am grateful to those patients, because they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that people in the worst circumstances can and do change. Because of them, I am committed to helping people change their lives one belief at a time using positve self-talk. Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
Positive Self-Talk Gold Book
Mark Twain wrote, “Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts or happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing though one’s head.” Mark Twain was right. Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind. The events of life can be trivial, tragic, and even monumental in nature, but the events themselves have little power. It’s the storm of thoughts about those events that controls our lives. Surviving the storm of thoughts is how we spend most of our time. No matter what we do, the storm still blows, and to a significant degree shapes our lives. Surviving the storm is something we do every day all day long. An entourage of thoughts accompanies each event in our lives. Those thoughts can be positive, negative, or most likely, something in between. Those thoughts are the battleground where we come to our agreement with life. Those thoughts define who we are and what we can do. You need to learn how to control the storm of thoughts blowing through your mind. Positive Self-Talk Gold Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Positive Self-Talk Purple Book
Living small serves no great purpose. Living as if you are a great person is a powerful idea that changes lives, and those who take it seriously change their world. Living as if you are great means you live as if your dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. You act as if you cannot fail. In order to live as if you are great, you have to think the way great people think, talk the way great people talk, and act the way great people act. Great people think, talk, and act their dreams into existence. If you ever become great, it will be because you think great thoughts, repeat great self-talk, have great expectations, and act as if you cannot fail. Some people wrongly believe that change is impossible. Leopards don't change their spots, and zebra stripes are forever. But people are different. People change their stars. They change their stripes, and their spots disappear in an instant of time. That instant happens the moment they develop positive expectations and believe they have the power to change. Positive self-talk and positive expectations can take you anywhere you want to go. Positive Self-Talk Purple Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
