For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs
23:7
Before making a cold call to a prospective customer, sales experts
say to ‘smile’ while on the phone or the person on the other end of the line
will detect that you are less than enthused about making the call and your
sales results will be dismal. Just like smiling on a cold call, our
thoughts can affect other people around us in a profound way.
There have been times in my life where my people in my
circle of family and friends have made me angry or upset and rather than
discussing the issues openly, I allowed them to well up on the inside, which
ultimately impacted my thinking and the way I acted around them.
You see, if we think loving thoughts about others, we become
loving individuals, but if we are thinking negative thoughts, it is near
impossible for us to act in a loving manner towards others.
We are all called to be a blessing to other people and love them
into a relationship with Jesus Christ. If we can learn to control our
inner thoughts and love more with our thoughts, we will be more loving as
individuals, and love is what this world needs now more than ever!
