Optimism is necessary if we want to accomplish much in life.

But optimism must not be intentionally blind, or deaf, or muted, it must acknowledge and then appropriately react to REALITY and TRUTH.

It occurred to me that the most optimistic message humanity has ever heard is the great Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. The one that is restoring humanity back to God. I believe that this gospel is being restored today within the body of Christ.

This Gospel when fully communicated acknowledges and explains evil principalities and powers in high places (seems so negative). It acknowledges suffering and trouble for the follower of Christ (seems so negative). It places God’s will above our own wills which can be quite painful (seems so negative).

Spiritual reality has a negative side that we should acknowledge and understand and share.
