Careful words make for a careful life; careless talk may ruin everything.
- Proverbs 13:3 (MSG)
All our lives we have been told “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything” but how often do we really follow that rule?
Song snippets:
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girl's teasing laughter
Is carrying farther than they know
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
We might think that we are whispering to our friend or spouse but believe me, voices carry.
The person we are talking about may not hear our comments directly but that doesn’t mean someone isn’t going to tell them what they heard.
We need to be careful.
I watched a documentary about a girl who was told her whole life that she could not do certain things because of the color of her skin and her gender, as a result the first 25 years of her life she lived under that stereotype.
Now she is fighting back.
Words can destroy a person's point of view on everything.
Think about what you are saying and who is listening.
