Be Careful Little Mouth!

She maybe a victim of hatred

He may be suffering with a aching heart;

Let not your words make the wound even more difficult to heal,

Be careful little mouth, what you speak!

Her situation might be lifeless 

He might have lost everything;

Let your words not bring darkness and death,

Be careful little mouth, what you speak!

Whenever you speak let love and life flow out of thee,

Let uplifting and encouraging thy motive be.

May what you speak keep their candles burning bright

May you not blow off their light,

Be careful little mouth, what you speak!

Do not be haughty for where you stand

Forget not thy humble beginnings

For God is just and to Him matters the heart that serves,

Abel's offering He considers

So speak kindness and grace

Strengthen and uplift the weak,

Oh be careful little mouth, what you speak!

Broken and Stronger!

There are days when we feel frustrated, hurt by words and actions, shattered and completely broken. Those are the days when we go into the "pity mode"; days when we remember how good we have been and that we deserve to be treated better. It's completely natural to think that way.

I felt that way a couple of days back and I cried. Later I prayed. Whereas, I should have prayed in the first place. God asked me a question, 'Is your crying making things any better for you?' And I knew deep within, that crying only worsened things. I was crying over something that I felt bad about and was stuck there. I continued to remain in that hurt whereas the person who hurt me didn't even care. In doing so I ended up increasing my heartache rather than feeling better.
Just then, God reminded me a couple of dreams I saw about my situation. And I realised that when the dreams God shows about our storms come to past, we need to stop pitying ourselves and not cry much over it. Instead, stand up in prayer and ask God to lead. Face it. We need to thank God for the victory He will give us.

We need to trust God and His justice. Even though situations seem unfair, our God is not unfair. Understanding this truth will help you retain your peace and deal with things in the love of Christ. There might be times where you will be required to stay patiently in the situation you are and see God's deliverance. At other times, you may be required to move on letting go of what or who hurt you. When you let go of the unwanted, you will see growth in certain areas that were previously a stumbling block for you.

Let God heal you. He can only do so when you surrender your all to Him. When you are broken, He makes you stronger.
