My Actions

We look in a mirror everyday, what is staring back at us is the same thing that is staring at the mirror, but yet we see something that other people don't see. We see ourselves as totally different as other people see us.

Our actions are much that same way, when we see how we react or act towards someone, they see it differently, they do not see it how I see it. If I cross my arms, they look at me as I am on the defensive, if I put my hands in my pockets, they don't think I am serious. Our body language tells us a lot about each other, but maybe, just maybe we are not to look at how the other person reacts or acts, maybe we are called to treat each other how we want to be treated. Instead of comparing how the other person acts towards us, we take the other person out of the equation and we act just as we want to be treated. Don't assume the other person is doing that, because not everyone gets it. They thing they do not deserve to be treated nicely, respectfully, but as I have said so many times before, change starts right here, with me. I need to be willing to follow what the Bible says and it says this very thing: Luke 6:31 "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" or Matthew 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

So next time you react to someone, think is that the way I want them to treat me.

One other thing, if something annoys you about someone else, like how they respond or something they may do that really gets under your skin, look at yourself to see if you do that very thing. I have found that those things that really bother me about someone else, that I do that very thing. So next time something bothers you that someone does, look in the mirror and say do I do that??? It is a good way to see the areas in ourselves that we need to change, it is like a check up.
