The bible tells us to not be quick with our mouths, do not be hasty in our hearts to utter anything before God. Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 Our words are very powerful. We should only speak words that make people stronger. Words that are uplifting and encouraging. No one needs to hear how they messed up or how they got themselves in to a heck of a dilemma. No one needs a nervous nelly speaking into their lives when they just lost their job and are being asked how are they going to pay their bills. In times of trouble people need to hear soothing words that will give them peace and hope and a future. That is why I am extremely private with my business. And I truly only want to take Godly advice because I know it will be biblical doctrine. I do not let others speak negative things into my life for words can not be taken back. They can hurt, they can cause damage to a relationship, they can discourage another. And I know most times when people speak out loud it is revealing to me what is in their hearts and what they feel. Are you an encouraging person? Do you only speak kind and uplifting words to others? We all should be this way for words were meant to lift one up, speak love and affirmations, not to cause harm or put fear into someone. Do not let your mouth lead you to sin. I pray today that this message causes people to stop and truly reflect on themselves. For God is pleased when we love others and if we all could just take a pause before we speak, I think we all could make a difference in each other's lives.
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. " John 13:34
