I've heard people always talking about those who are negative and those who are positive and positive people and negative people.

And of course, there's a whole multi-billion dollar business has been made out of all this stuff.

And when those of us who have come to Christ and surrendered our life to him, that the question is not

and is no longer what I can do, what I can't do, what my assets and liabilities, and how can

I have affirmation to get myself out of bed in the morning and whose guru I am following,

and how I can get myself picked up

and become a positive person. But what can Christ do in me? What can Christ do through me?

What can Christ do through what he has placed in my hand? Now, I was thinking about the positive people, and I thought of this

kid who brought home a dismal report card, and he handed it to his dad, and his dad literally,

as he was watching his dad's jaw dropping as he was looking at that report card, and he said,

Dad, here's one thing you can rejoice over. With a report card like this,

I couldn't possibly have cheated. Someone wrote he said, a negative person is the one who

feels badly when he feels good for fear that he will feel worse when he feels better.

Figure this one out.

But again, let me come back to the point, which is that when you come to Christ, it's no

longer the question, how do I feel, what do I think, or how do I view my strength and

weaknesses, or what really is possible for me, what is not possible?

What can I do? What can I not do? But what can

Christ do with what I have? What can he do in me, what he can do through me? Today I want to show you

through that little boy, placing all that he has in the hand of Jesus, he blessed thousands and thousands and thousands of people.

So turn with me, please, if you haven't already.

John, Chapter 6.
