(Received as a forward)
1. Wake Up!!
Decide to have a good day.
"This is the day the LORD hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up!!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." - I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin." - Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!
...for what you believe in.
...for something or you will fall for anything.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." - Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up!!
...to the LORD.
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up!!
...for something higher.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up!!
...your Prayers.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." - Philippians 4:6


A POSITIVE THOUGHT
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary?

Face it, He's crazy about you!
