Words. You gotta be extremely careful of what you say to people. We hold the most powerful weapon in the world. Your tongue can give life or death to people. Watch your mouth because you cannot take back what you say. Once it's out it is out forever. Words can haunt a person's mind for an eternity.
I'm not just talking to you. I'm talking to myself. Far too many people have said one too many hurtful words to me and I can harbor them or I can let them go.
God gave us that kind of power. Use it wisely. Speak life into your situation. Speak health and wellness. Speak love instead of hate. Speak kindness instead of rudeness. Speak peace instead of restlessness. Speak up for what you want in life. You speak what YOU WANT INTO EXISTENCE.
I've been learning to watch my mouth. It's way harder than you think. When people are rude to me. I want to be rude right back, but what does that accomplish? I can't minister to people by being rude, hateful or spiteful in return.
I'm far,far from perfect. I have a mouth. I let my tongue wag on before I cover it. I sometimes don't care how it comes out. You hurt me. I'll hurt you right back. But that's not going to solve anything. It's going to make it worse.
I take at least a week or so to cool myself off and depending on what was said it may take longer. Thankfully I have a God who put his hand over my mouth and forces it shut. He will deal with you. You can keep spewing your hurtful words. I'll let God block them from me.
I'm very vindictive. I'm very spiteful. I'm very, very hateful. I can make you feel as big as a seed or even smaller. I do not like to be challenged. I will make sure you pay for picking a fight with me. I'm not one you need to mess with.
Now, I'll just sit here and watch you act like a crazy person. I've learned to watch myself. And I've learned that it's better to sit there and let everyone look at the person being mean and what it tells everyone else about their character.
Words. They are the enemy's weapon of choice. Choose your words wisely for they very well may be your last.
