Reading Me Like a Book

This week we talked a lot about communication and the ways we can verbalize and discuss our issues. There are so many ways to read people and their emotions. People tell me that they can read me like an open book. My emotions might be written plainly on my face, but maybe my face and my voice don't really convey what I'm thinking and feeling. It's a huge possibility. Sometimes it's so easy for us to assume that people have a certain problem with us by the looks they give us, their body language, and their words. But how much of that should we take for face value? We should always be willing to discuss with and open heart and an open mind. I found it easier to talk to someone when I have prayed and really asked my Father in Heaven to guide me in my words and my actions; that I may be able to convey my feelings and thoughts without hurting the person I am speaking to. Humans are sensitive and we feast off of those around us and those whom we love; we We can't always judge a book by it's cover. Yes someone may sound mad, may look mad, but maybe in reality they are hurting inside. We need to take a step back and really jump back in with a better perspective; and eternal one.
