When asked about an old pet peeve
I thought about the words we heed
How quickly and without fore thought
Give credence to the words we've caught
For instance saying I love you
Yet actions deny that this is true
Or sticks and stones may break my bones
But words (or lack thereof) wiil never harm me
How errant this discourse
How poison filled the seed
In time wounds heal but ill spoken words kill
The mind,the spirit...ME
Awesome poem Rev. Judy! I gave a sermon on how important WORDS are this morning. Words can be "Life Changing" as they were with me. Thank you for posting such an uplifting poem! Blessings, John Michael
THE WORD OF GOD SAYS, '"ALL" THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR 'GOOD' TO THEM THAT LOVE HIM AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE' IN OTHER WORDS; WHAT WAS MEANT AS A STUMBLING BLOCK MUST NOW BECOME A STEPPING STONE...WHY? BECAUSE GOD ALLOWED THE ILL WORDS TO TEACH US...SOMETHING. AND BECAUSE HE LOVES US...HE WOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT FOR OUR GOOD. IF THE MEMORY OF ILL 'WORDS' SPOKEN CAN STILL 'KILL' OVER A SPACE OF TIME...THEN THE WOUNDS ARE STILL OPEN AND ARE NOT HEALED. CERTAINLY WE SHOULD BE 'AWARE' OF THE BEARER OF ILL WORDS, TAKING CARE THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET OFFENDED AGAIN, DOES NOT HAPPEN. HOWEVER WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO WEAR A BADGE OF VICTORY OVER US. WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE KING! AND..."THIS JOY WE HAVE THE WORLD DIDN'T GIVE IT TO US...THE WORLD DIDN'T GIVE IT AND THE WORLD CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY!" FORGIVE, AND I MEAN REALLY FORGIVE, LEAVE THE WORDS AND THOSE THAT BEAR THEM TO GOD... AND PRESS ON! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
