Restoring That Which Was Lost (Part 2)

3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 

Attitude is one of the most important ingredients in determining restoration of blessing or lack thereof for all people. Blessed people have one thing in common and that is an expectant attitude of a fresh anointing from God.

Most people begin each morning in neutral and react to events of the day. You can be blessed in life by starting each day with a positive attitude, a gratitude for the opportunities you have, and an expectancy of the best that God has promised.

We tend to live up to expectations. We get out of life just about what we put into it. Our environment becomes a mirror of our spirit, our attitude, and expectations. If we keep a great attitude, we get great results. If we have a fair attitude, we accomplish fair results, and if we have a poor attitude, we accomplish poor results.

God will give you back what you expect, so expect the very best. Don't be defensive or doubtful. Nothing changes unless you do. Before you can do something, you've got to be something. Know that you have worth and value. Show that to the world by letting the light of Christ shine through you.

Treat everyone you come in contact with as the most important person of the hour. It will build self-esteem. Smile and you'll be rewarded with a returned smile. Don't react to discourtesy. Forgive everyone who ever hurt you then forgive yourself. Radiate an attitude of confidence that God will provide your every need.

Develop these good habits and your expectancy will be rewarded by blessings. This attitude will put you into that group of people who are truly blessed, because you will know and understand how an expectant attitude enhances every aspect of your life. 
May God bless you with such an expectant attitude every day of your living.
