Half-full or Half-empty

Every once in awhile I will get asked the question, "Are you a glass half-empty or glass half-full kind of person?" I will sit for a moment, ponder the question and look back at them and say, "glass half-full." This scenario crossed my mind the other day and I asked myself the question. The fact is that to say I am half-full is quite sad, wouldn't you say? I believe that there is so much more to that question than one would think...what the person is really asking you is... "Do you see the world as a negative, God-less and sad place half of the time or do you see the world as a positive, God-breathed and hopeful place half of the time?"

Some of you might think I am reading more into that question than I should, but I just feel like if you have Jesus in your heart you have a full glass. There is no need to say that you see the world as half-full. It is a way to share your faith with the world. A way to shine your light to a dark world.

It doesn't matter what your circumstances are, where you've been, what you've done-He'll meet you where you are. If it's anger in your heart because of the things that you have faced in your life, He sees it and knows it. He longs to help you get rid of it and to bring you to a place of renewal. There is a great deal of pain in this world-pain of loosing those we love, pain of fighting sickness of our own, pain of our children being ill and the anger that we have of not being able to heal them--God knows and He sees it--but what we have to remember is God does not cause these things, but He loves us and wants to comfort us and meet us where we are.

So is your glass half-empty or half-full? I know that Jesus can make it a full-glass.
