“Lord, please help bad people to be good and help good people to be nice,” prayed the little girl.

And boy, did she hit the problem smack dab in the middle of our souls and psyches.

Oh, we Christians carry a banner that by the very nature of our choosing says, “If we’re not nice, at least we try harder,” but the problem is some Christians don’t try harder.

And their banner looks as if it has been through a war…because it has been.

They have heard the message, but they haven’t gotten their compassionate motor up and running.

Unfortunately, they are as mean and ornery as some non Christians.

Here are a few very practical questions you need to ask yourself about what you say to people and how:

Do you share or lecture?

Do you follow up your words of wisdom with something rude or snide or sarcastic?

Have you ever said to someone, “Did I make myself clear?” Or, “Are you listening?” Does it make a difference? Is this a loaded question?

Are there some other practical ideas that can be applied to becoming a nicer person?

Well, for openers…I have always found that not blaming other people for my problems is a good way to begin. Otherwise, a constant mad-on takes place and takes over.
AND..when the other person, whoever that is, is being a pain…stop and think that maybe it is because their life at the moment is full to overflowing with some pain or problem. Maybe they aren’t handling it well but will your impatience make it better for the both of you?

Practice the destiny of little things…such as not interrupting everyone when they are talking because you think you have something more important to say…hold a door open for someone whether they are elderly or not…this is called going the extra mile and it certainly isn’t going to ruin the day.

Compliment folk. Only compliment if it is true because they will know it…but get in the habit of saying nice things. Sunshine is better than showers any day.

Sharpen the art of asking questions. It is better than you always giving answers. It respects other people, opens up conversations and keeps you from being a babbling bore.
