Family,
Have you ever been in a room of people and someone you haven’t seen in a while walks in and says..."Well, well, well?” I have. That saying could mean so many things depending on the relationship and interaction. If the person was surprised, it would be a good thing and probably followed by “looks who’s here.” But if not, the sarcasm can hit your soul like a fiery dart. There is power in tones and in most cases it can have a strong impact on a person’s morning, noon, or night.
In the book of Matthew 7:12 (AMP) it says: So then, in everything treat others the same way you want them to treat you, for this is [the essence of] the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets.
We live in times where applying scripture is a lost art. People seem to grow further away from just good ole sound doctrine. Treating someone the way you want to be treated is very important in any interaction, verbal or nonverbal. Now, are we going to treat others the same way we want to be treated, by taking into consideration the power of our tone and words? Let’s read Proverbs 17:22 (TPT): “A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.”
Just for today, is it possible for you to treat someone with kindness and allow joy to enter into your heart? Remember life is too short to live with regrets.Have you ever had to think about what it means to be alone, let alone soak in negativity? So many people are living in their head and God may send them along your pathway. The question is will you make time to bring joy or treat them kindly? In the words of Benjamin Franklin ~ “Lost time is never found again.”
Well, well, well, it’s never too late to get it right. Today love on someone just for the sake of kindness and work to treat others the way you want to be treated.
Question: When was the last time you really laughed?
