How To Be A Christian In The Workplace

It is so tempting to curse someone out when they do something that seriously annoys you. But you are a christian and you are trying to live right and you want to have a good conscious as well as be a good person. In or outside of the workplace. Sometimes it seems as if people try to take advantage of you when you are thought of as the "good guy or girl". Believe it or not there is a way to be respectful, be loving and positive all while getting respect from people.

Remember that walking in love is also walking in long-suffering aka patience. Try to be patient with others who you may usually get upset with. When someone gets ugly with you it is easy to go off on a rampage or curse them out. Don't .Staying cool is staying in control. Ever feel silly or regretful after you completely went off on someone. It is because you know that behaving in such a way is not right.

Don't be afraid to smile at others in the workplace. Sometimes it can be hard to smile with all the drama that goes on (especially if you work around a lot of women :) Instead of actually engaging in the drama and the gossip try saying something positive a lot of times it changes the whole tone of the conversation from negative to postive. It is going to take a lot of will power. The main idea is not to get discouraged. Smiling in a not so happy environment can actually make a huge difference in the type of day you have.

Do minister and tell others of God. Don't force it down there throats. In the workplace there are plenty of opportunities to minister to others. Usually when someone is going through hard times they will be more receptive to the word if you are dealing with non believer. Or sometimes you don't have to say anything they can just see how you are living and treating others. They can see your light shine.

Now don't get me wrong sometimes you do have to be firm dealing with difficult people but make sure when dealing with these people that you look them in the eye and don't avoid confrontation. When there is a problem deal with it, nip it in the bud and try to come up with possible solutions. If you already considered a good person and you feel that others "try you" a bit more than others by being difficult with you don't show signs of weakness. Speak up, tell them what you expect. . It is sometimes OK to joke but be fare but firm.
This is how you will build respect and keep it all while being blessed enough to be a good person and a wonderful manor woman of God.
