Do we focus on what is right?

There is so much negativity around us every day.  When we watch the news, so much of the reporting is about what's wrong or who is doing something wrong.  So much reporting in various media is negative.  Unfortunately, we live in a negative world.  The reporting so often talks about the mistakes and what's wrong to point of neglecting what's right or who is doing something good.  This is not the way of the Lord Jesus.  We think of the parable of the Miraculous Catch of Fish of Peter in Luke 5:1-9.  Peter did not completely obey the instructions that the Lord Jesus gave him.  Jesus told him to let down the "nets" and Peter said that he would let down the "net".  So Peter partially obeyed the Lord.  The Lord Jesus blessed him on the part that he obeyed.  Jesus did not focus on what was not done but focused upon what was right and this is what brought Peter to repentance.  This is a lesson for all of us.
