Life can be downright scary and if you don’t take care, you will find yourself feeling sad and bad always. But even with all the complications of life, the Bible encourages us to always be positive. Being positive is very beneficial to your mental, emotional and physical well-being.
Moreover, as a Christian, you always have to remember that no matter what happens in life, you are not alone. You have God on your side and so you are a winner. So you need not feel sad and down, you have to be positive always.
You have God and all things work together for good for those who love God (Romans 8:28). See below for some bible verses that encourage us to always be positive.
