"Why is light given to the toilers, life to the bitter in spirit? They wait for death and it does not come; they search for it more than for hidden treasures." Job 3:20-21
Are you a pessimist or an optimist? Life is meant to be lived and lived in a way that brings joy to others. With an optimistic outlook you can always see the good in situations. A pessimist sees the bad and things of the bad possibilities, missing the hidden treasures. Both of these view points paint their own world yet God is always constant. Both deal with the same life events but only one remains focused. Today listen to your own words are you painting a bleak picture in your own world. What you speak, your ears hear and puts your mind either at ease or in a whirlwind. Jesus even in the middle of His troubles found joy in His suffering. Stop creating your own troubles and start living!!

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray these words make a difference in a mind that needs help. You know how to penetrate the darkness and I ask that this morning. I pray for a friend that needs Your encouragement, I pray for better days for them. I thank You for the grace of seeing the good in all things even in the troubles. Help us see that it is You that defines us and not our circumstances, may we look and find the hidden treasure that You planted for us. To You be the glory and the power for ever and ever, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Suffering, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
