HOW THINGS WORK OUT

How things work out for you depends mostly on you. One of the happiest, sweet-spirited, successful and givingest men I know was born into poverty and abuse, suffered homelessness and one disappointment after another early in his life. Towards the end of his life, he was asked how he overcame it all. He smiled and said, “Things work out best for the people who make the best out of the way things work out.” How true.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4:8).
