Hopelessly Optimistic

Followers (Of Christ),

Give up hope, and you will feel better. Yet do become optimistic and with applied effort. Not even faith is without being based on something, seen or unseen. Fortunately for you, it is based on Jesus Christ in one way or another, sometimes for reasons known only to yourself and him (For some it is feelings and a emotional sense about a matter labelled like intuition, others it is some kind of intellectual connection and appreciations). Optimism...

Some of you may be experiencing what is a predictable degree of New Years resolution "downgrading" to accommodate for a diminished degree of reality based expectations (adapting). Here it is only 7-8 days since New Years resolutions, hopes or goals fade and fizzle. For this ministry, our goals only expanded and increased and we are getting closer to goals (with Gods help).  It is sort of our point, "with Gods help" (which comes with promises), and so should your New Years resolutions be based like that....with Gods help, there is none higher than your creators goals combined with yours.

What is "hope" (a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen) and what is "optimism" (hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something),  is one more advanced and stronger in God and his word than the other? We suggest it is at least a little word game that helps you learn insights, but with a powerful psychological component you and God add to it. 

Hope Vs Optimism, Give Up Hollow Hope And Choose Optimism With God
This 1887 painting by Evelyn De Morgan is allegorical, pre-raphaelite painting showing Hope as a woman or very young man holding a lamp, entering the dungeon where Despair is shown as another human figure bowed down with grief. Hope's saint-like halo suggests the comfort brought by religious faith. Or as this Ministry suggest, optimism based on knowing you and your higher power from your creator you call on through Jesus Christ are working together to achieve an actual result PD-US.

Despair often sets in within just days after New Years. Sigh.  Pledged to quit smoking, but you haven't actually done so yet, or excess drinking or drug abuse, porn addiction, power and control issues over others (OCD, anger problems) that ignore your own self as blind to how you actually are...you name it, the list is endless in the ways of human downfall.  Self destructive thinking habits from within a damaged self or even from others that beat you down with harmful or minimalist thinking's into a "nothing" or "no one". Or a mental syndrome of toxic beliefs or  thoughts holding you back from the greatness you seek to get on with. It is all in some form or another a "prison" (pictured above), starting to show up about 7-8 days since New Years resolutions. Many of these issues require a higher power for help. As from the divine that created you to a greater design than you presently feel or experience, in a relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ that some discover in any of a variety of Christian themed religions.

It is okay to "start" with mere hope, do hope, yet it is just the mere starter seed to the greater you to reach for as even greater yet to come. Romans 8: 24-25   "24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."...and patiently you can wait indeed all by your self forever without your creator helping you out.

There is it seems, some extra ingredients for you to discover in Gods words for your success to move on and out to the beyond from mere "hope". Romans 8:31 "31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?". So, here it is, that extra ingredient, being your Creator, your seeking and listening to his/her Holy Spirit wind whisper voices in your heart, or dynamic mind opening powers to guide you through his/her/their words in the Bible as you develop a Bible study plan. It is a relationship between you, and higher power and a promise based performance contract you create with God to seek his (his/her) image for you. Know....God is for you, and nothing and no one can be against you if you stand in his will for you.Yee have heard it said "may the force be with you..."  that is a failures quote from Star Wars you paid to see. Sounded good writing the scripts and it got people to thinking (Wait, only "may?"). Rather, we give you a new quote (free of cost) to say that really should be said as "make the force be with you", and yield to his/her power of God. Make the force be with you by consciously actually choosing God as your partnership to success to being optimistic.

Optimism's Not A Half Empty Mind Trick, Make The Force Of God Yours And Your Cup Overflows

A glass of water, demonstrating the eternal conundrum of whether the glass is half full or half empty. You alone make the choice to make God yours, in giving up hope to him/her, and securing real power to make the force be with you in empowered actual optimism PD-US.

Only full? The cup that runneth over is Gods provisions and blessings given to you and your life as it is as you are, as the normal portion of life you have BEFORE the cup runneth over (how boring huh?). It is from an old Jewish custom to overfill the cup of the guest as a sign a person is a guest as long as they mutually want to be.  It is also like that with God, he wants to overfill your cup with even more. You also make it happen by being a willing recipient of the force, the blessings and Gods power in your life by becoming more of him/her in empowered optimism that exceeds mere "hope". 

You receive the optimism power even in the presence of your "enemies" (even if "enemies" are old mind traps and psychological toxins that defeat yourself or come from others as antagonist) Psalm 23:5  "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."

Ask yourself and God to become hopelessly and powerfully optimistic. Replacing "hope" with empowered active component optimism on Gods promises to help you and your life. Hopeless to rather filled with divinely empowered optimism, that is a choice you alone make to receive, and thus, make the force be with you...

Blessings,

Followers (Of Christ), In our prior writings, we warned you of a rising "Anti-Church" soon to be pulsing through the internet....
