The Value and Potential in Each Individual

In week four of the Mind Shift series, Pastor Erwin McManus reveals that what we find in the world around us is a direct reflection of who we are.

Pastor Erwin uses the story of Cain from Genesis as an example of this principle.  After Cain kills his brother out of jealousy, he lives in constant fear of being killed himself. Because he had been willing to commit murder, he saw murder in the heart of everyone around him.

Not only do you see in others what you hide in yourself, you attract from the world what you put into it.

If you want to surround yourself with people who are not bitter, you must first choose forgiveness. If you want to find trustworthy friends, you must become trustworthy. If you want to live in a better world, you must choose to become a better person.

Change your outer world by transforming your inner world.

It all starts with this mind shift!
