“Life is like a circle, full of ups and downs”
Life is like a circle, starting with hope, joy, and peace. ☮️ What’s the balance between good and bad in our lives today?
Think of people who see the bright side as Positive (+1) and those who see the dark side as Negative (-1).
So, can these two attitudes ever really get along?
I’d say “No,” because people usually want to be in charge instead of letting the other person take responsibility for the action that God gave them.
But there’s a middle ground where no one is better than the other. But it’s not enough for life with Jesus Christ.
Here’s an example: A circle has the same distance from point A to point B, with A being the start and B being the end.
Let’s think of life as a circle. If Jesus sends you in one direction and I’m sent in the opposite direction, could we ever come together as one? Or would we end up as zero?
Only by faith can anyone change a Negative attitude (like -1) to a Positive one (like +1). So, that attitude becomes zero.
And that zero is one of the neutral points where every individual spiritual or non-spiritual have to make a decision which way they choose to go amen.
Here’s a money analogy: Think of +1 as having one dollar and -1 as owing one dollar.
If you have one dollar and pay off your one-dollar debt, you’re left with zero dollars.
Imagine if Jesus asked you to sacrifice your life for him, just as he did for you. How would you feel about that?
So, the question is: How would you react if someone went in the opposite direction from you?
Remember, it’s a circle with a beginning and an end. Now, considering life as a circle with Christ at both the start and the end (as in “Revelation 1:8 KJV … I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty”),
In math, negative one is the additive inverse of positive one. This means adding them together always brings the total back to neutral or zero.
For instance, if you take one step forward (+1) and one step backward (-1), you end up right where you started (0).
It seems like many people are stuck in the past, holding onto their mistakes and not moving forward. But if they just have a little faith, things could change!
But to follow Christ, we need to move forward to the next step. As Jesus said in Luke 9:62 KJV, “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
So, let’s keep our eyes on the prize and look forward to seeing Jesus Christ at the end. Amen 🙏
