A sharp jab of pain hits you in the heart. The wound aches for days, sometimes it is a dull ache that you barely notice and sometimes it is a pain so sharp it takes your breath away. Words can have a painful effect on you. Remember, be slow to speak and quick to listen or you might end up being the one who inflicts the pain.
I pray I learn restraint when it comes to speaking and that I learn to speak the truth with kindness, love, and respect. I also pray that I do not take others words to heart. Instead, I lean on God's Word to know that I am loved and seek His words to affirm myself in His eyes.
