Scripture:
Matthews 12: 36 & 37 "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Observation:
I get careless sometimes and don't really filter out what I should say and what I should not say. To start off, I let my emotions get to me especially to those who I am close to. The other day, I was talking to a friends to resolve some of our issues. I thought I would stay calm, and had jot down the questions and concerns prior so that I won't let my emotions run over me. But in the middle of our conversation, I let my emotions control the conversation. I had taken the floor and start to zing every corner and really not giving any time for my friend to speak freely. By far, I let my emotion get to me and show how hurt and how much I can pay back the same. At the end of the day, this was truly in my heart and which I had openly share, however, many of could be altered that both of us came out with best resolution.
Your emotions and you do not guard what you say, when you are in a circumstances where you have others who speak of you negatively or make comments that are untrue. How do you deal with that. I was in a position where I came close to their playing field and express my anger and hurt publicly. But at the end of the day, my words and actions need to be accountable. Those ignorant people do not know how to account for any of their actions. It is my lose to play in their field.
If they (Amy, there parents & stalking individual) feel they need to express their emotion and start to lash at you in a public, especially now days with help of public network where people can get connected easily.. By means do so. Any of the words they speak or say there is no truth base on that. I been there, but after all that, I want to to take responsibility for actions and what I say. I want to be the mature one, so at the end, I decided to ignore the whole thing. Though I get hurt, rather than bursting my hurt out to public and sharing with everyone else, I use my time of intimacy with God to talk to him.
Application:
As a servant of God, our words should be just and taken accountable for. Therefor with past experience and still ongoing experience of people lashing me and my family out with untruth words, I decide to take responsibility for my words, therefore I am cautious of what I say and how I respond. God is the only judge of my character and what my heart is really about. When my heart if fill with hurt and anger, I seek God to find peace and bring peace to my heart. Let the angers and anxiety be wash away by intimately speaking and spending time with God. Our God is jealous God, so better to spend my time with our amazing Father, versus wasting my words with people who are careless, and who will be judged by my Father.
Prayer:
Father help me to speak wise and speak in your just. Let the words that come out of my mouth be pleasing. Father thank you for your grace and blessing, your blessing has been abundant and for my family. Through the difficult times we may be face, Father we come to you and seek you to stir our heart that we may find peace. Let our heart be reflected of your grace. Lord you are our savior, and I want to be a faithful servant, give me to strength to seek you and put you as my priority through the hectic world which is filled with so much temptation and evil. Father God, thank you for loving me unconditional regardless, and sacrificing your one and only son to wash my sins and save me. Lord you are a great God, my struggles and pains are so small yet at times it is so overwhelming, Father I lay these on your hand, and guide me to be a righteous servant, that all my work in this world will bring praise your kingdom. Thank you for the cross, the heavy cross you carried and thank you for protecting me and my family. Thank you for giving us the strength to continue to forgive and learn to love those who bad mouth and hurt us. Father you are amazing and you are just, I love you and I pray in your glorious name Amen!
