It seems too many times a careless word can break someone’s heart. Something you do, that you think nothing of, can tear someone to pieces. They we live our lives, the way we speak our words and think our thoughts, it should all be done in the likeness of Christ. He is the one true role model, the perfect example of a friend. His words spoke truth, but were kind. They were strong, but not harsh. The tonque is a weapon, more powerful than any gun or sword out there. Our words are like bullets, darts if you will, and too many times our hurtful words make a bulls-eye to the center of our hearts. People will be people. Heart ache will be heartache, and hurt shall be hurt. But to be responsible for that heartache, that deep hurt, the feeling is unexplainable. Guilt is a deep wound to the soul, caused by our own selves.
Be careful little eyes what you see.
Be careful little ears what you hear.
Be careful little mouths what you speak.
Sometimes I look at my life, and seem to see the glass half empty. But if life’s the glass, then what’s the liquid that fills it? What are we putting into our lives? In my personal expericence I’ve come to realized I don’t always put what’s best. God has so much for me, and everyone else. He’s got the lock and key; all he asks us to do is turn it! But we want to see the lock as old and rusty, and we can choose to ignore it. But sometimes it takes a big event in our life, a little perspective, really, to see what all we really have. We are truly blessed, we have friends, family, people who really care; and so many other things. In this past week I experienced a power outage, for just couple of days and became extremely frustrated. But then I was reminded of how millions of people never have electricity, many don’t even have food, or clean water, at that! But God has blessed me with these things, he’s blessed me with wonderful friend’s, and family, knowledge, a personal relationship with him, and so much more! He’s moving in the lives of my friends, I can see it! And nothing comes to my blame. The blame for everything in my life falls on Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Thank God for wake up calls.
