We all know the nice feeling when we receive a compliment. Someone says something nice about our clothes, joke or gift, and we feel good, loved, and we can do more, dare the next challenge. And to make things better: nice words are free. They cost nothing. Free. And anyone can practice them: we do not need education or diploma and or be smart. Sounds easy, right?
Unfortunately it seems that many people live with many ugly words. They pull down. It seems more normal to say the negative. Or mix. In many conversations this happens: Someone says something positive, "yes, she is very good, does many nice things" and then comes the "but", "but she can not manage your money" or something. It's like you feel you need to balance things out.
The worst is that this is common with Christians as well. The sins and weaknesses of others comes very quickly in any conversation. A lack of generosity.
Do I seem tired? Maybe a little. I think that a life with more generosity and nice words would be easier to live.
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
