The Power Of Words
Have you ever stop to think about the words that you say? When you are angry, is it not words that we use to hurt someone else? If one uses the right words you can bring someone to their knees. Saying something like you are a worthless piece of shit, can stab someone's heart and hurt them more deeply than if you were to hit them. Why are humans like this? Why are we not consciously aware of what we say? When Jesus was hanging on the cross, the physical pain his body was feeling was not enough for some. Some had to add to his suffering. They said harsh things to him to make the pain he felt , go to his soul. Even given where Jesus was, he did not use words to hurt them back. No,instead he ask his father to forgive them because they didnt know what they were doing. How true that was. We use words to get back at others. To hurt them in a way they will never forget. For some the hurtful words live with them forever. They feel the pain forever as well. So instead of wanting to get revenge and pay someone back. Maybe we could take a minute and think before we say something hurtful back. Maybe instead of hurting them we could love them instead. We could forgive them, because in their rage. In their anger, they know not what they are doing.
