Tongue

The bible says that the tongue is mightier than the sword, and that we should use it wisely, with wisdom and with love, and it is so right, words can be are so powerful .............. but also so hurtful ....... and so destructive ............... and often unforgiveable ....... that is why i cannot understand why someone would find the need to use their tongue in a way that could only lead to hurt and anger, to use this muscle to make up stories that are untrue just to hurt someone ........... because no matter how much time passes some words once spoken will never be forgotten ...................... or forgiven ................ there are some words that are just so hurtful that only removing yourself form the presence of the person and from the situation will bring a calm ................... and a healing of the hurt inflicted ...................... and eventually a forgiveness ...................

The bible calls us to forgive 70 x 7 times, but it also advised the disciples when they were treated badly to brush

the dust from their feet as they walked away from the place and to take with them all the blessings they had bestowed upon the household ..................... what to do ............ what to do ................ forgive or walk away .................

I think it is one of the saddest things, when someone cannot fight fair .......... they play childish games, such as name callings and the making up of lies to try and "catch" the person out, these games are only played by someone who has no back bone .............. someone who has nothing to offer ............. someone who is really so pitiful that you cannot help but feel sorry for them ............. because these people they have nothing to offer anyone ............ you see even if the relationship ends and they move on, who they are does not change, a leopard cannot change its spots ............. and what they are can be hidden for a while .................... they can pretend that they are "Mr Nice Guy" but who they are will surface and the cycle will be repeated until they are all alone again ....................

I have learnt that if one person thinks that are bad and 100 worthy people think you are good .................. you are probably good....................... however if you think you are good and this is confirmed by 100 people who drink, swear

and watch filth .................. you probably have a problem .....................................

The tongue is a mighty weapon that should be kept inside your mouth unless you are willing to accept the consequences of using it to hurt ............ belittle ............. and degrade others .............................. the tongue is one of the most powerful tools we have ................. such a pity that so few use it to uplift , motivate and encourage others it is just so much easier to use it to hurt and break people down ...........................
