Biohazard headed your way

Have you ever just waken up and started out with an attitude for no reason other than you just felt like you hated the world? I believe there are many who feel that way on a daily basis, and it just doesn't effect them but all who come into their path. As I am driving along I can see the looks on peoples faces as they seem so full of anger. We can enter a restaurant and see those around us and you would think the world was ending, and it very well may seem so for them. We can be at a park and hear someone saying a mouth full of words that they know they shouldn't be saying. I have learned that whatever I say, where ever I am someone always hears my speech. Those words can either lead them to Christ or move them farther away from Him. We are an example wherever we go. We all make mistakes of saying things we shouldn't, and we can look at ourselves and know that with God we can change our speech, and we can change our attitudes. In our world people have gotten the idea that the world revolves around them, and no one else matters. People have the idea that they are more important, and no one need to get in their way. We live in such a "Me" centered world that people have forgotten the simple word of "Grace". We want all those around us to understand why we are mad, why we can treat others badly, or why we are so important. We tend to forget about others and their feelings, and we forget who we are representing. We are representing the King of Kings, Christ Jesus. For others to see Him, they must be able to see Him through us. If we are walking around with a bad attitude, what are we showing others who are lost? Is the saying,"Words speak louder than our actions really true?" In some cases yes, but we can speak that we are a christian, but are we acting like it? In that case, our actions at times speak volumes over our words. I have fallen into this trap just as others have. We get angry and words slip out of our mouths before we can think. In that case I need to think before I speak. We need to keep our attitudes in check, and our speech as we are followers of Christ. See this verse with me. "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14 Our words and our actions speak what our hearts are full of. That is a hard pill to swallow at times when we know just what our words have been. If we are meditating on Christ and keeping Him the center of our lives we will be the examples He wants us to be. When we are totally focused on Him, our actions show that. When we are far from Him our actions also show just where we are. There are hurting people everywhere we look, this world is in need of Christ. The people in this world are searching for something to fill them, and many are searching high and low. We need to be those who are showing them Christ through our actions and words. If the christians in this world are not acting as such, who is going to show them? We all slip and fall, but we can turn to Christ for His strength to overcome and be acceptable in His sight. Our words and actions should be bringing glory to His name. We need to take ourselves off the shelf we put us on, and realize its not about us, its all about Him....
