"I love the example of being a thermostat instead of a thermometer. We don't react to our environment we change it!"
We decide the atmosphere around us. We can either react and show the climate that surrounds us or we can set our hearts on God's truth and speak in agreement with His word until our surroundings change. Some would say we are just full of hot air and my response would be in this case 'exactly'. The more hot air we push out the more the cold world heats up. We are agents of change.
Have you ever been in the midst of a heated argument and cooled it down with a kind word or an apology? You were the thermostat. A thermometer would only let its heat levels rise until it blew it's top.
Rather than react lets respond with faith filled words and loving actions. As we do we will see the change in the world around us.
Have you experienced being the thermometer or the thermostat? What advice would you give to someone wanting to be an agent of change?
