Be an Effecter not an Infecter.

If you keep treating people how they treat you, people will keep treating you how you treat them. If you want to change things, start treating people how you want to be treated and they will treat you the same. It’s just like this-if people have a cold and you shake them you will catch it too. If you shake others they will also catch it too. But if you shake someone with a cold and you immediately wash your hands, you will not get infected by the cold virus and you won’t infect others. So don’t let other people infect you with their bad attitudes, words and behavior. Wash your hands by refusing to react to them. Instead infect them with your good attitudes, words and behavior. This is what Paul meant in 1 Thessalonians 5:15 ‘See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men’.
