Attitude:

   God's Word has a great deal to say about attitude.    Attitude does not reflect circumstances or feelings.  Attitude is the result of either agreeing with God or disagreeing with God.  There are no murky areas.    There is always a place to go.    Christians who whine and yelp about the past do not understand either the Sovereignty of God, or His ability to restore the land.  Those who constantly object to the treatment they receive do not understand Grace and they have not begun to grasp what it means to be a Living Sacrifice.    This goes way beyond bucking up.  This is not about gathering courage to jump into the volcano.  This is about yielding to the surgical knife of the Lover of your Soul.  This is about eternal investment.  This is about learning to be like Him.    This is about more of Him and less of me.
