Positively Christian

This post was actually already posted last April 26, 2011 as PositiveThinking Christians – Be One! However, it was mainly for audiences in my home country, so I did some editing for the international readers...

As Christians, do we really have an idea what positive thinking is? A friend of mine claims that they practice a “no negativity” rule at home, and I was almost convinced she knew what she was saying until I heard her conversation with my sister. Honestly, I forgot the beginning part, since I wasn't listening too well. But the ending part sure did get my attention.

“Think positive, kaya mu yan! (Think positive, you can do it)” Aren't we too familiar with these words, that they are almost our programmed response whenever we want to encourage someone?

Yet do we really mean it when we say them, and do we really understand what positive thinking is?
