Words

Words....
...once it is said, you can't take it back
...tells you what other people say or think about you
...can hurt you
...can heal you
...encourage you
...can turn out to be broken promises
...can be lies
...makes you feel appreciated
...makes you feel loved
...and the list continues...

How many times have you been hurt by the words that people say about you?
How many times have you tried to ignore and just brush away the words that was thrown at you?
How many times have you convince yourself to move on for you can't do anything about what people said?

This week has been a reminder to me that our tongue is a very powerful thing. Proverbs says...

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."

It has the power of life and death. Like I've mentioned above, words that are spoken can encourages us and it can destroy us. Every single word that comes out of our mouth could break others or help others. Many times we say things that we regret at the end of the day. That reminds us to always think before speaking. Do we always think of how the other person would response or even feel when they've heard what we have to say? Someone once told me that truth hurts. Yes, I totally agree that truth hurts at times. But if it comes from a place of love then it is good but what if it is the other way round? What if the words being said is just for sake of being said?

THINK before you speak!
