YOUR WORD PRODUCES A RIPPLE EFFECT ON OTHERS

 

Every utterance you make has a ripple effect on others. 

When you drop a little stone or a needle into a large volume of water with a large surface area, it spreads the waters in a circular manner or pattern to it end regions. in the same vein, when we ensure our words are positive, pleasant and kind irrespective of the circumstances, then we will feel at peace, and so will those around us.

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” ~Proverbs 16:24

when our minds are pure, it means our minds are fed with positive, loving, and gracious thoughts. In other words we cannot manifest gracious thoughts without changing the state of our minds. That means our minds content has to be transformed from negative (wicked,harsh thoughts) to positive(tender, peaceful and loving thoughts). there is a natural generated sweetness derived from gracious words, proverbs relate this sweetness to that derived from honeycomb, which is a natural honey taste different from commercial honey. This is what happens to people when they receive gracious words. There were words we have used in the past that had a positive impact on those who heard them, such words has a way of changing the mindset of people from a worst situation to something better. The reason why people make mistakes, move with the wrong people, make wrong choices, are due to not having the right words as at the time they needed it. Positive, tender, peaceful and gracious words changes negative intentions of people to something good and productive. Someone came to me one day seeking for my opinion on his decision on a matter that was giving him sleepless night. After our conversation, i noticed his altitude and mindset changed, he resolved in his heart to go by my advice and ended up paying for my lunch. We can actually make people feel better by using the right words.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1.

Your response in the midst of negative utterances will unfolds your real personality and altitudes. How i respond shoud be a repeller to the negative utterances that comes to me reversing it state to a peaceful one. There is a root cause to every word being uttered. The root cause is the reasons behind the manner by which the word was spoken. people tend to react based on how they were being addressed either from their environment, or due to their state of mind at that moment, which may be traced to offences or provocation received before meeting you. Negative utterances can also be traced to the way the individual was being raised. So your response to such utterances should comes from your consideration of these factors mentioned in mind. when our words are spoken to change the state of mind of individuals positively, it becomes a ripple effect,which can extend to their environment.
