Staying focused
Those who do some bit of gardening would know that it is a common practice or habit for one to pick out weeds and cast them away. In Philippians 4 : 8 we are reminded to focus on the good, not on the bad. Goodness and beauty are much more pleasant. If we are too busy concentrating on the bad, we miss the good.
The same principles apply to how we relate to those around us. Each person has good qualities, yet something makes us automatically focus on the negative qualities. Then we stew about how to tell them. It is not our job to change them. God call us to focus on the good things about others. We should put more energy into doing that !!
We must focused on God’s beauty in others
Philippians 4 : 8
Fix your thoughts on what is true and honourable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
