Whatever You Send Out Always Comes Back To You

Lifted from the book " Become a Better You" by Joel Osteen

I heeard a story about a man and his small son who were hiking up a mountain. Suddenly, the little boy slipped and slid about thirty yards down the mountainside, getting caught in some bush. Unhurt but frightened , he called out, " Somebody, help me."

A voice called back, "Somebody help me!"

The youngster looked suprised and confused . He said, " Who are you?"

The voice shouted back, " Who are you ? "

The boy began to get aggravated. " You're a coward!" he yelled .

The voice shouted back,  "You're a coward!"

The boy shot back.  " You're a fool ."

The voice repeated, " You're a fool."

By then, the boy's father had reached him and helped him extricate his son from the bush. The boy looked up and said, " Dad, who is that ?"

The father chuckled and said, " Son, that's called an echo, but it's also called life. He said, " Son, let me show you something. "  The father shouted out, " You're a winner!"

The voice shouted back, " You're a winner!"

The dad's voice boomed, " You've got what it takes."

The voice boomed back, " You've got what it takes."

The dad shouted , "You can make it."

The voice shouted back, "You can make it."

" Son, that's exactly how it is in life, " the father explained, "Whatever you send out always comes back to you."

Let me ask : What messages are you sending yourself ?

"I'm a failure. I'm unattractive. I'm undisciplined. I'm broke. I've got a terrible temper. Nobody likes to be around me."

Start sending out, " I'm approved, I'm accepted, I am the righteousness of God. I am creative. I am talented. I am more than a conqueror."

Make sure you are transmitting good messages about yourself.
