Did you ever wonder what would happen if you only saw the positive in people instead of the negative? Think about it, what a happier place this world would be, instead of focusing on their annoying qualities, the way they chew a piece of steak, it's like a masticated cow died in their mouth, or the way they talk so horribly about their spouse, or they always say negative things about them selves so you would be sure to compliment them. Nope, what if we saw only the good, the way they have a way with words, or how they are always there when you need them, or the way they seem to give you good advice and make you feel at ease, or what about that time they loaned you 20 bucks when you didn't have enough cash, all those things are good things and all those things are little things that mean so much at the time. So why is it we are so quick to forget about those things, it's like a week goes by and all the sudden we are back to seeing all the negative in that person again instead of the love we felt for them not seven days before.
Now what if we took all those positive things that hold true and encouraged them every time you saw these traits come out in them. It's like when you compliment your friend's outfit and tell them how fabulous they look in it and how thin it makes them look, guess what outfit they will be wearing all the time now? Yep the one that made them feel the best, that they feel the most confident in, that they received the most compliments in. Because you see we are all human and we all want to feel that great way we felt when we got those compliments. It is the same thing when we notice the great qualities a person holds instead of the negative ones.
A wise man once told me that it is very important that you do not label someone, for example if your son is extremely rowdy and rebellious and has a sharp tongue and so did your uncle growing up as a child, so you compare your son to that uncle " Oh yeah, that Billy is just like Uncle Rob, rebellious as ever" And right there you have just labeled your son and you are pulling your hair out, pacing back and forth praying that God will make him just obey you for one minute! But why should he, and how would he know how too, this whole time you have been telling him exactly who he is, and the more you spoke those words over him the more he became them.
You see it all is in the words you speak, they have weight, they are powerful! The Lord SPOKE the Universe into existence, did you here that....HE SPOKE....ahh yes your words are very powerful. They can make or break your current situation, they can make or break the people in your life. Just think how wonderful people would be, how many people might get to being who they were actually suppose to be if someone just spoke those positive words over them, telling them everyday who they are and that they can achieve all their dreams and their desires.
What if our goal in life was helping people become who they were meant to be, wouldn't that be a great accomplishment on it's own. The lesson for tonight is to speak kindly about others, speak with love, and if you want something speak it into existence and you just might get it. I bid you all a farewell till tomorrow of course!
