But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.” ~~ James 1:6

What Are You Sending Out Into This World Today? Part 7

This is the final part of this series because I think this series could continue to go on and on forever.  It is not the last writing about all of this but only the last in this series.


The questions "What are you sending out into this world today?" really does  make me stop and think about how I, myself, can affect this world by my thoughts therefore causing an effect on the surroundings about me in the world.


"The domino effect" just popped into my mind.  Someone is rude to you or just starts the negative talking. It doesn't take long for that attitude to start rubbing on you and then you are in a negative mood.  The next person you talk to, you complain and gripe and guess what? They are into that mood soon.  And it continues to go on and on. Now turn that situation around.  Suppose you met someone in the grocery store and all you did was smile at them.  That could be the only smile they will see today. You have enlightened their day and most likely they will pass that on to the next person because you have made their burdens a tad light.


So this series has had a series lesson it it.  Each one of us Christians should really take this to heart and put it to practice. Philippians 2:14 tells us, Christians, "Do everything without complaining and arguing," then this statement is made in Jude.“...to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds... These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts...” (Jude 1:15-16)Did you catch that? "the ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds..."! What are some of the ungodly deeds?These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts...”. OUCH! These Scriptures are pointing out that it is understandable how unbelievers can do these things BUT us as Christians should have the faith in God and we should be filled with praises and thanksgiving.


The Bible tells us, "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8 and

“...for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content” (Phil. 4:11).


What is the definition of complaining? being discontent.
We have to fill our mouths with praise and thanksgiving not giving room for those negative thoughts and words to enter this world. There is way too much bad in this world as it is and why? Because we have sent out so many bad vibes by our negative thoughts and words.  Think about it! You see and hear all the bad on the news in the papers, etc.  What if it all were turned around and good was all you heard and read? Positive vibes were going out everywhere.  Yes, this world would be a better place. Where does it start? with YOU and ME!


Thanks you so much for reading this series. I hope it has touched your life in some special way.
