But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
Romans 8:25 (NLT)

Today (and every day), it`s time to count your blessings and to think optimistically about your future. As Christians, you have every reason to be optimistic about your future here on earth and your future in heaven.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalms 23:5-6 (KJV)

The people whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful people who went about their business with a smile on their face.
Charles Kingsley.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Psalms 51:8 (KJV)

If our hearts have been attuned to God through an abiding faith in Christ, the result will be joyous optimism and good cheer.
Billy Graham.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Phil 4:13 (KJV)

It is a remarkable thing that some of the most optimistic and enthusiastic people you will meet are those who have been through intense suffering.
Warren Wiersbe.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Tim 1:7 (KJV)

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality, and hope. Where others have resigned, it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself, and not abandon it to his enemy.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Amen

God is the Eternal Optimist. He is our positive energy source. Anything pessimistic or negative is not of Him and is a sin. So, for those who think they no longer sin, need to think twice about that the next time they are pessimistic or negative about anything!
