The Habit of Perspective
Series: Godly Habits for a Mentally Fit Life Sermon Title: The Habit of Perspective The "Reframe" principle. Think of how many people would be set-free if they could see Gods perspective and purpose in their past. Both from things that are my fault to things that are, “life happens”. We call that testimony. Who we were, and who we now are because of His Grace. Hallelujah, He redeems the good, bad and ugly!! Philippians 1:12 Now I want you to know, believers, that what has happened to me [this imprisonment that was meant to stop me] has actually served to advance [the spread of] the good news [regarding salvation].
