There’s a scripture in the bible that says, Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive. (I Corinthians 10:23, NIV)
This passage of scripture has been on my mind for a few days now and it serves to me as a reminder that words can be spoken out, but cannot be taken back once in the air. If it’s not beneficial nor constructive, why speak them? There is always an appropriate way to address any situation that you encounter, so think before you speak. Ask yourself, what is my true motive or intent behind saying this. Will I hurt someone or help them?
Words carry more power than we know.
So very true!!
