WORDS
Spoken words can indeed be powerful. Like an egg, once broken can never be put together again. It would have done all the damages and even the ones you didn't imagine or envisaged.
I woke up this morning and thought about all the words that have been spoken to me in the past twelve months. (I dare not go back to childhood memories) Some made me, some memorable, some to hurt me, some to make me feel less human. Some to make me look and feel unimportant, unreliable and possibly below expectations. In all of these, I did something significant... I took them all in, internalised them, sieve off the shaft and moved with the encouragements from those who truly know how powerful WORDS can be.
To be able to get to the level where you shake off all negative words, pls LOVE YOURSELF! VALUE YOURSELF and KNOW YOUR WORTH! A lot of people lack self value so, can never value any other person no matter how hard you try.
I am not a man-pleaser but God pleaser so I may therefore not be good enough for someone or anyone who doesn't value God's creature. While some see me as above, a whole loads of others see me as invaluable! I value and appreciate all relationships, I expect little or nothing but give a whole lot. I do not hang around for compensations or pay back.
What I will not take is for anyone to try to make me feel little or rubbish my efforts. No matter how little the effort put in for me, I super appreciate! I don't forget good deeds! Just like I don't ever forget the other even though I forgive.😃
As you go into the new year, pls do not only dust off but also shake off all negative energies around you.
Words can be powerful. Can make and can mar the hearer. If you do not have any good words to edify the hearer, do not say hurtful words. Some may not have what it takes to wash it off. Ordinary spoken words have sent some people to their early graves while some have been sent into depression.
Here is how Google defines WORDS "...a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form a sentence and typically shown with a space on either side when written or printed."
"Express (something spoken or written) in particular words'.
Why not use your words to heal and not to kill?

ReplyDeleteThanks so much ma for this piece. You are one in a million. God pls grant us grace to always give out words that edify.
Some say talk is cheap, but I say the price of words is inestimable! Words make or mar, they build or tear down, they edify or cut down. The careful use of words is to me the sign of a matured personality.
