Each of us has formed a mental picture of ourselves. We have a picture of our family. We have a picture of our future. And the way we see ourselves, quite often, is what were going to become. Unfortunately, many people limit their future by what they see. Learn how to change your focus from your problems to the possibilities. Begin to see yourself rising to new levels, accomplishing your dreams and enjoying Gods blessing and favor. The imagination is neither good nor bad. Its just a canvas. Dont let doubt and fear paint the picture for your life. Dont let impossibility thoughts color your vision. Take out the palette of faith, hope, and expectancy and paint a bright future on the canvas of your heart.
