       One thing I want you to realize is that most people who suffer from negativism don’t even realize it. They have become so used to being negative that it is just part of their being, part of their attitude, and they look at everything with a critical, faultfinding mindset. And it is true that, as Christians, many of us have been taught to be critical of things. We have been taught to be critical of the world, to watch our own behaviors carefully, and things like this in order to protect ourselves from sin’s influence. And these are good things (see Proverbs 14:15). The problem is that we have let the critical mindset get out of control in many instances. You cannot be around some brothers and sisters for long just because they are too negative and critical. You may make a statement at a Bible study and all this type of person does is point out what’s wrong with your statement, what you missed, or what needs improved upon. They feel they have to correct everyone and everything. It all comes down to the law of reaping and sowing. You harvest the fruit of what you plant.
