You Reap what you Sow

I was speaking with someone the other day and as the story was being told I thought wow people have issues with communication in relationships. I was always raised to listen more than I talk. As a matter of fact I remember my mother saying to me at 8 years old that God gave me two ears and one mouth so I could listen twice as much as I talked. This will allow you to hear what the person is saying and allow yourself to take it in and process it appropriately.

Some people love to hear themselves talk and they know that their tongue is a mighty sword and use it as one. They cut people down and try and call it tough love. They say every negative thing to the person and say I am doing it to help them. Anything negative is not really helpful. If you treat someone poorly it is true you will get that treatment back.

I believe and the bible tells you, you reap what you sow! Whatever you give out to others, God will eventually give back to you. If you are feeding others negativity that is what you will harvest. You have to treat others the way you want to be treated. At ALL times, No mattter how you may feel, remove the emotions and take a moment to stop and think, if I were the other person how would I want to be treated.

We must begin to really treat others the way we want to be treated. We can't continue to always throw negativity out and expect positive results back. At some point and time we have to look at a situation and see how we are contributing to it and it's negativity. It isn't always one person the street runs both ways.

Take the time today to really put yourself in another person's shoes that you may have had an issue with. Walk with them instead of in front of them or behind them. Treat them with love and kindness and check out your results. I've heard it said that you get more bees with honey than with vinegar. Try bringing on the honey and see what a beautiful result you receive.

Be Blessed, Be Encouraged and Be a Blessing
