TURN THE PAGE...

"TURN THE PAGE"

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM AUTHOR PHILLIP BERRIAN





“…Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27


The other day I had the pleasure of having a conversation with a fellow Facebook friend.  His name is Phillip Berrian and he’s an author.  His message is simple: hope.  When we talked he said, “People are so angry and depressed.  They’ve gone through so many things.”  Phillip uses his writings to help people overcome their worst moments.

When I asked him how he proposes they do this, he said, “Turn the page from negative to positive.”  He said that his late grandmother Rosie Ballard Coward always told him that, “if you stay negative mentally you will not get anywhere, but you have to let go of things that have happened to you and try to focus on positive things.”

These words are so true.  So many times we often replay the worst moments of our lives over and over in our heads.  Replaying these moments only reinforces the negativity and the negative feelings and emotions that come with it.  But if you turn the page from negative to positive you can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

We are all writing our own book.  Page 1 may have had the bitter but if you could just keep moving and turn the page to page 2 then and only then can you experience the sweet.


Phillip Berrian is the author of “The Testimonial of One’s True Greatness” and in it he shares uplifting messages about how he overcame many obstacles in his life.  Berrian believes that your “test will always become your testimony.”
