       So, the breakthrough we are considering today is: God wants us to live with a hopeful mindset, and not with a negative, unbelieving, and faithless one. Negativity is a poison that can ruin our lives. It is written in Proverbs 15:13: “A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed” (ESV). Some of us have developed such a negative mindset that we cannot see anything without a tinge of negativism. It is rooted deep in our brains. We have negative eyeglasses seemingly affixed permanently to our faces. And why are some of us more negative than others? Sometimes people are negative because of the way they were raised. They had a negative mother or father, or both were negative, having a grim outlook on life, and this was passed down to the child. And sometimes children and young adults have experienced failures and rejections over and over that have built up this type of mindset. They feel like they’ve been dealt a bad hand in life.
