STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO CURSE

 JUST THINKING:



Recently, I had a chat with a lady on the phone. She was having issues with a customer and she told me that she sent an insulting text to the customer. The customer insulted her back with a reply text. The customer's wife was very sick and she said to my hearing that she prays that the customer's wife dies from the sickness because of how the customer had been frustrating her. I was shocked that those words came out of her.

I stylishly gave myself brain and withdrew from her as a friend.  I can't deal with people who curse and swear. I have also stylishly withdrawn from people both in the office, neighborhood and others who do such.  However, I don't judge people, I am only trying to protect myself.

Proverbs 18:21 NIV says, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit”.

Proverbs 12:18 NCV says, “Careless words stab like a sword, but wise words bring healing’.

Proverbs 18:4 NLT says, “Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook”.

Proverbs 16:24 NIV says, “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones’.

Ephesians 4:29 NIV says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen”.

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!”

Matthew 12:37 NLT says, “The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.

Matthew 12:36 NASB says, “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the Day of Judgment.

Words are very powerful and if you want to change your life, change your words and the people who speak lies, deceits and curses.
