God’s love is the most positive and most powerful force in the universe, and when you shift your focus to  it, you receive the power to overcome life’s biggest challenges.  When you connect with God’s love, good things start happening in your heart and mind.

I would like to be able to tell you that if you open your heart to God’s love, all negative thoughts would immediately and permanently disappear, and you would be a positive person for the rest of your life.  If I told you that, I would be lying.

Opening your heart to God’s love and becoming one of his children will not make all your problems disappear.  What it will do is start the process of healing.  The most powerful force in the universe is God’s love, and when that loves flows through your heart and mind, you start to get better, but getting better takes time.

If you had a problem with negative thinking before you were born spiritually, you will still have a problem with it after you are a child of God.  If you were on medication for depression before you connected with God’s love, you will still need medication after you call God your Father.

Healing and wholeness take time.  First, you must let God’s love wash the toxic waste out of your mind.  Second, you must put positive things into your mind to take its place.

You can’t just throw negative thoughts out.  As soon as you stop tossing them out, they come right back like a negative boomerang.  The only way to keep negative thoughts out is to put something in to take their place.  When you put a positive thought in your mind, it pushes a negative one out.  That is how you get rid of negative thoughts.  You displace them.

You become what you think about all day long.  You must think about positive things, talk about positive things, read about positive things, write about positive things, listen to positive things, and look at positive things in order to displace negative thoughts from your mind.  The only way to consistently and persistently have a positive mind is to keep it full of positive things.

You can be as positive as you want if you are willing to spend the time putting positive things into your mind.
