Watch Your Words!


"Who says that words don't hurt?" Well, they do! That old saying , sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt is far from true. It's only good when trying to get someone to ignore the smart remarks, however,that's not always easy. Verbal abuse does cut deep to the core of one's spirit....it does leave you feeling very hurt. I hope that if you're reading this, that you're not the one who verbally abuses & to stop it at once! I also hope that if you're the one being verbally abused that you confront this issue. I pray that you realize it's only a tactic used by the abuser to make you "feel" bad about yourself. To get you to a place where you feel powerless.

You must engage yourself with others who lift you up and not bring you down.
You must learn to stand tall again by knowing that GOD LOVES YOU & realize you're so worthy. Words spoken can bring life or death. Speak your words carefully, and make sure they're being carefully spoken to you. Lift someone up today with words that edify.
