It might come as no surprise, but when negativity gets the first word in what you think about yourself/what you're doing, the results aren't likely to be altogether positive. Here's a good acid-test: what do you spend most of your time talking about? Is it uplifting or downgrading? Hmm. At the end of the day, we all need reminding that God sees us as a new creation, bought back from darkness because of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). He wants us to know how loved we are in His sight.
So, how can we share that loving perspective? Too often we're only looking through our short-sighted 2D view of life. God sees your future. What does He say about that? He's a God that wants to give us a 'future and a hope' (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT). He sees your past, too. What does He say about that? Like Paul (who had a pretty grim past), He wants us to make a habit of 'forgetting what is behind' (Philippians 3:13 NIV).
So, want a fresh perspective? You need to 'Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things' (Colossians 3:2 NIV). God's ways are so much higher than ours, meaning that the chances of us always having the right perspective on life aren't all that high. Checking in with Him safeguards us from the lies that satan tries to implant in our minds. It also lifts us to realise how much we can do with God.
