Some Words Crush

Today, i witnessed a couple of incidents and heard story where the "weaks" are despised and made fun of. Just because of several differences in them from the norm or difference in backgrounds. Feel pretty indignant that these people are treated in such ways. They still deserve respect and they DO deserve respect.

Words can act like knives to the soul. Words can crush the spirit. And words that are thrown off just like that will forever be stamped in the hearts of those being thrown at. It really does hurt. It hurts, all of us know. Though, it may be sent in a jokingly manner, or rather in a CARELESS manner, it strikes deep inside the heart more than all of us will ever know. Not everyone is able to handle such words that are carelessly thrown. He or she may have acted cool about it, but the damage is done. Permanently done.

No matter whether one has a greater authority over someone or is under a person's submission, beware of the words spoken. Or even how a person behave. No matter how handsome or how beautiful one is, no matter how popular or how lovable one is, he or she has no right to strip off someone's image or pride just like that. What's the use of being perfect in the outside yet full of wickedness in the inside?

I guess i'd fell and struggle a lot of times in this area too, much to the shame, speaking words that tear down the souls in order to lift up myself. But everytime i do, i'm so glad, so so grateful that God spoke to me telling me that these people are not trash but jewel to His eyes. That He loves them too just the way He loves me. And it truly humbled me down because God is so holy and full of love for such people. How can i walk in the ways of those who spoke words of folly too while my Father in Heaven has such great view on those people?

Indeed, we need a constant renewing of the mind, of how we should see things differently from how the world sees. Surely, one can never be perfect in all of his/her speeches, but let's strive to make our speech full of words of encouragements, words that build up instead of destroy.
