See the Good and Believe the Best
Adapted from Quiet Times with God
Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].
The Bible teaches us to always see the good in people and believe the best of every person.
But if we let our thoughts lead our lives, they usually tend toward negativity. Our flesh, without the influence of the Holy Spirit, is dark and negative. Thankfully, we don’t have to walk in the flesh, but we can choose to be led by the Spirit (Romans 8:5). When we choose to let the Spirit lead us, we will see the best in other people, and we will be filled with God’s love and peace in our souls.
In your time with God, ask Him to help you see other people as His children rather than as adversaries. Decide to look past their faults and see them as God sees them. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you see the best in every person in your life.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me see people through Your eyes. Replace negative thoughts with love, grace, and peace, and teach me to believe the best in everyone, amen.
