FJWL_02:391
         (Dad:) So much depends on how you look at things; whether you look at things positively or negatively. So much depends on which direction your antenna is pointing; whether it's pointing up, getting God's signals, or whether it's pointing down, getting the Enemy's murmurs, complaints and negative attitudes.
         No matter what has happened in your life or in the past, it can all work together for good and bring about the good fruits that the Lord wants it to. Even if some of the experiences were not necessarily "good" or may have seemed grievous at the time, we know from the Word that all things work together for good. We can still benefit and learn from them and apply them positively, if we will just look at them with the eyes of faith.
         You can look back on that situation and complain and murmur about it in your heart and be negative about it, or you can look back on it and thank the Lord for the lessons you've learned.
