God's Spirit vs. Negativity

I'm finding that the more I seek to know Christ, and the more I ask God to send His Holy Spirit to stir up faith in me, the more my attitude changes. For example, for years while I've struggled with faith and worldliness, its been easy to nurse a bad attitude. But as I let those things go (and believe me its a struggle at times) I find it easier to see the good in my brothers and sisters at Sunshine. People will always do things that upset us -- but we don't have to let that keep us down. The Bible is perfectly accurate when it says "our struggle is not against flesh and blood..." I'm amazed when I hear other Christians "confess" someone else's weakness or sin from years past. If we understand anything about God's grace, how can we hold those things against others?! Especially, if we were not directly affected by their actions. Sunday after Sunday, I'm learning more and more how much we have to be thankful for at Sunshine. I pray daily for all of us and that we continually grow spiritually. Thanks for the encouragement!!
