Words Can and Do Hurt!

As a kid you might have said a nursery rhyme often: sticks and stones may hurt my bones but words can never hurt me, but as you grew up, you found out that that is not true...words do hurt you and words can cause death..death of relationships, death of friendships, death of a career, death of a marriage, death of a god life, your life and your future and the life and future of others connected to you. So watch not only what you do but truly watch what you say at all times.

And be mindful that too ..it's not always what you say but how you say it. And if you don't want a person in your space or in your life, don't speak harshly to them or about them, just be honest and tell them you don't want them around and don't wait on them to leave you, you leave them alone.

Proverbs 18:21 reminds us of this one thing: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 13:3 says: He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.

You can begin to measure the good things in your life by the good words that come out of your mouth, let them produce good fruits: great relationships, great friendships and a great life. Amen?
