What We Communicate to Others

In all that we do we communicate to others why, what and who we are.

In a certain “camp” there are those who pride themselves on their positive confessions. They constantly broadcast who they are, what they are and what they can do; however, they also communicate a negative message about themselves.

As an example, I prefer arriving to Church early that I may find a seat without disturbing other worshippers after the service begins. Yet, ten to fifteen minutes after the service has begun latecomers will begin to arrive. With no regards to the fact that I and others have entered into worship – our eyes are closed and our hands are raised as we offer praises to the Most High God – the latecomers will interrupt us in order to take their chosen seat.

Without any expression of acknowledgement and/or apology latecomers have used their bodies to push me and others out of the way because we didn’t stop worshipping God quickly enough to accommodate them. Those latecomers are communicating that their presence is more important than the Presence of the Most High God.

It is true not only in word, but also in deed we communicate to others what, why and who we really are.
