CHATTY PEOPLE, POISONOUS TONGUES
By Fillipe Moreira
What enormous power has such a small organ… and you know that, don't you?
Yes you know, because when they hurt you with words it hurts deep in your soul.
And even after knowing what it's like to be hurt by words, you don't seem to learn your lesson, do you? For you continue to hurt other people with your own words.
Learn one thing! I have already learned it!
You have the power to destroy or brighten someone's day, your tongue has this power!
Why not praise someone without falsehood, without lies, without interests just to make that person's day better?
“There are words that strike like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” Proverbs 12:18
Have you been healing or hurting people?
None of us like to live with people who are liars or fake, because there is never confidence in what they say.
Why not be sincere in your speech? Why not just choose the truth?
“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Matthew 5:37
Remember, there is a huge gap between truth and ignorance. It is not appropriate to be ignorant with the excuse of speaking the truth.
Ask yourself what results your words have brought to people. Have you motivated them? Have you cheered them up? Or is everything you just say words of heavy weight, demands and judgments?
What about that person who just speaks ill of others, who is always criticizing what other people do, what about this person?
“Therefore, you, who judge others, are inexcusable; because you are condemning yourself in what you judge, since you, who judge, do the same things. ” Romans 2: 1
What about people who say things they shouldn't say when they are angry, sad or disappointed?
Poor people, they are too weak because they cannot control their feelings and let themselves be dominated by them! Do not let your momentary emotional situation take control over your language.
Allow me to give one last piece of advice to those who want to grow and have a healthy mind...
Stay away from people who gossip, complain about everything, hurt others with their poisonous words. Stay away from toxic people.
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord , and who meditates on his law day and night." Psalms 1:1-2
The wise man is recognized for his silence, and the fool for speaking too much!
"Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin." Proverbs 13:3
"Like golden apples in silver salves, so is the word spoken in its own time." Proverbs 25:11
Let this be our prayer:
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasant before your face, Lord, my rock and my deliverer!” Psalm 19:14
