Stop being positive

Yes, stop being positive and start being godly.

That's what I felt as I was writing some words of encouragement to my group. If we're truly the disciple of Christ, we should not be positive all the time, cause positivity won't take as far at all, but godliness will take us further, to eternity.

Jesus' teaching is somewhat different from the world's teaching. In Matthew 5:43-48 you would know what I'm talking about. Jesus said:

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you."

Man, if you read it properly, where is the positivity in His teaching. Yes there's a bit of positivity, but more than that, it's godliness that is required. Because that is basically the essence of God's command, to love God and our neighbour.

So if you are a believer, if you think you are the disciple of Jesus, you should stop being positive (let alone having that negativity in your mind/heart), you should start being godly.
