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 I have also stylishly withdrawn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.
