JUST THINKING:
I love making
friends with people but my friendship can have an expiry date. I can be pulled to
someone if we have the same value system, mindset, and so on. But
if there is no integrity, the friendship expires. If the persons
curses, it is a "NO, NO" for me. I can't stand anyone who curses
whether you are a Christian or not. Once I notice that cursing comes out
easily from your mouth, the friendship expires immediately. I am not a
perfect person but I don't want to be corrupted by cursing words. Words are powerful
whether it is a blessing or a curse.
The Bible says,
"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks" and also, "out
of your belle flows rivers of living waters". For the people who curse
easily, I can put it this way: "out of the abundance of your heart, you
curse and out of their belle comes rivers of death".
What comes out of
one's mouth is a product of what is in the person's heart. Some people carry
anger, bitterness, hatred and unforgiveness in their hearts. So, when
they speak, death, pollution and defilement comes out
naturally.
Most times, what people say is a reflection of what they have
inside. I know that most people cuss once in a while of which some regret
and repent of. But if anyone around me cusses at any or every provocation, I run
away from that person. What I carry on the inside of me is very precious. So, I
won’t allow anyone to contaminate what I have with cursing or swearing. My
friendship expires with anyone who curses easily and whom I have spoken with about
it and there are no changes.
James 3:10 NLT says, “And so blessing and cursing come
pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not
right!”
