      Optimism

      LINES OF ENCOURAGEMENT

      THE HAND OF GOD IS EVERYWHERE

      It’s true we have never looked on His face,

      But His likeness shines forth from every place,

      For the hand of God is everywhere

      Along life’s busy thoroughfare,

      And His presence can be felt and seen

      Right in the midst of our daily routine.

      Things we touch and see and feel

      Are what make God so very real.

      DO NOT BE ANXIOUS

      Do not be anxious, said our Lord;

      Have peace from day to day—

      The lilies neither toil nor spin,

      Yet none are clothed as they.

      The meadowlark with sweetest song

      Fears not for bread or nest

      Because he trusts our Father’s love

      And God knows what is best.

      GIVE LAVISHLY! LIVE ABUNDANTLY!

      The more you give, the more you get.

      The more you laugh, the less you fret.

      The more you do unselfishly,

      The more you live abundantly.

      The more of everything you share,

      The more you’ll always have to spare.

      The more you love, the more you’ll find

      That life is good and friends are kind,

      For only what we give away

      Enriches us from day to day.

      NEVER BE DISCOURAGED

      There is really nothing we need know

      or even try to understand

      If we refuse to be discouraged

      and trust God’s guiding hand.

      So take heart and meet each minute

      with faith in God’s great love,

      Aware that every day of life

      is controlled by God above.

      And never dread tomorrow

      or what the future brings,

      Just pray for strength and courage

      and trust God in all things.

      And never grow discouraged—

      be patient and just wait,

      For God never comes too early,

      and He never comes too late.

      IN HOURS OF DISCOURAGEMENT, GOD IS OUR ENCOURAGEMENT

      Sometimes we feel uncertain

      and unsure of everything,

      Afraid to make decisions,

      dreading what the day will bring.

      We keep wishing it were possible

      to dispel all fear and doubt

      And to understand more readily

      just what life is all about.

      God has given us the answers,

      which too often go unheeded,

      But if we search His promises

      we’ll find everything that’s needed …

      For in God is our encouragement

      in trouble and in trials,

      And in suffering and in sorrow

      He will turn our tears to smiles.

      SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

      Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,

      Good things and bad things, pleasure and pain.

      We can’t have all sunshine, but it’s certainly true

      That there’s never a cloud

      the sun doesn’t shine through …

      Take heart and stand tall and think who you are,

      For God is your Father and no one can bar

      Or keep you from reaching your desired success

      Or withhold the joy that is yours to possess …

      For you need nothing more

      than God’s guidance and love

      To ensure you the things

      that you’re most worthy of …

      So trust in His wisdom and follow His ways

      And be not concerned with the world’s empty praise,

      But first seek His kingdom and you will possess

      The world’s greatest of riches,

      which is true happiness.

      IF YOU MEET GOD IN THE MORNING…

      Each day at dawning I lift my heart high

      And raise up my eyes to the infinite sky.

      I watch the night vanish as a new day is born,

      And I hear the birds sing on the wings of the morn.

      I see the dew glisten in crystal-like splendor,

      While God, with a touch that is gentle and tender,

      Wraps up the night and softly tucks it away

      And hangs out the sun to herald a new day …

      And so I give thanks and my heart kneels to pray,

      "God, keep me and guide me

      and go with me today."

      YOUR LIFE WILL BE BLESSED IF YOU LOOK FOR THE BEST

      It’s easy to grow downhearted

      when nothing goes your way.

      It’s easy to be discouraged

      when you have a troublesome day.

      But trouble is only a challenge

      to spur you on to achieve

      The best
