How do my words affect people around me?
I am in a rather happy mood writing this. Joyful infact. Someone said something to me today that made me feel really good about myself. Amazingly good.
So that's what is motivating today's writeup, 'How do your words affect people around you?
Do your words make people cry? Sulk? Rethink their lives?
What impact has your speech made?
I met a man, and while talking he told me when he was little, he close to no female friends. He told me he perceived them as pompous, and usually they would boo him. He said his response was always so brutal, the girl's left crying. He would out of the thousand words the girl said, make one counter statement, that would surely make her sad, hence, the tears.
This may sound normal to some, but, the reaction to your speech says something about who you are. Yes, people will react however they deem fit. But, I always say if everyone says there's a problem to you, the problem just might be you.
What sort of person are you if your words break people down? The bible says let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer unto every man. Colossians 4:6 .The truth is, if you claim to be a child of God and after conversations with you, people cry, feel sad and bad, you need to check yourself. The bible records that Jesus went about doing good. You are not doing good by making people sad, by causing pain to anyone, so who do you follow?
Pastor Adeboye once said, if your words bring people down, you need a rethink on the Christianity you're practicing. The real Christian isn't bitter, nor a source of bitterness. We are light, we brighten everywhere. We are salt, we add good taste.
There are ways to tell people things. You do not necessarily have to shatter a soul to build it. If your intentions are pure, let your words show it. Be a source of positive change yes, but not by shattering someone's self esteem. I pray the Holy Spirit explains this better to you, and helps you do better. God bless you.
