When we change the way we look at people it will change the way we respond to them.
Have you ever been hurt by someone else? We all have at one point in our lives.
Everyone has a past and things we don't like to remember. It effects our personality and they way we behave today.
If we can put on glasses of compassion and pity instead of critical ones, we might be able to relate rather than react negatively.
As Christians we need to be aware of the suffering of others. Try to see past the sarcasm and façade. They are obviously trying to cover up some deep pain and hurt.
Those around us often become the victims of our harsh tones and fits of rage.
We take out our frustrations on others instead of taking our burdens to the Lord and
LEAVING IT THERE.
Our emotional pain causes us to suspect wrong motives of other peoples actions and words.
It really all goes back to treat others the way you want to be treated.
"And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
Luke 6:31
Instead of taking our frustrations out on others we need to be nice and hope they will be nice in return. Pray for those who seem grouchy or snippy. Maybe they had a bad day or they were fighting with their spouse. Maybe they had a rough night or they are having cronic pain.
Just BE NICE!!! Our tone of voice makes a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!!
