Today's OneWord is "Speaking"
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." We have all heard this statement before and probably have used it many times to those who have taunted, ridiculed, or criticized us. This statement is not true! Words can and do inflict pain, sometimes deep emotional, psychological, or spiritual pain. Words can produce inner turmoil, discouragement, anger, fear, and bitterness.
Consider the spoken statements that could cause pain:
"I don't love you anymore."
"You can't do anything right."
"Nothing you do will ever matter or succeed."
"You are stupid."
"I do not want you around, never did, do not now and never will."
"You make me sick."
Think about the impact this may have on a person over time especially our family: husbands, children, wives, etc.
Our words can be painful and cannot be recalled.
Before we open our mouths to make a confession of what comes into our head, ask ourselves, "Who said it" What is the source?"
God gave us the ability to use our tongue to create a better life by speaking words that are full of faith and love. The choice is ours, whether we will speak them or not.
Before we speak today, ask ourselves, "Is this going to edify or tear down?" Let us use our tongue wisely!
