Words That Cut

19 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Integrity: (N) The quality of being honest, and having strong moral principles: moral uprightness. 

It is better to have less worldly treasure and more internal fiber. Worldly treasures, baubles and trinkets are lost and forgotten.  I have never been to a funeral where ones possessions were applauded, it is always the integrity and the character that are remembered.

We  are still camping out at guarding our lips, our tongue and our speech.  To lash out at someone is to cut them.  We have no right to cut others and to tear them down with our tongues. Respect and communication are assets that are undervalued.

I pray that today we use our speech to honor each other and lift each other up. I pray that those of us that have been cut today, through the words of another, don’t cut back----but enter into prayer and thanksgiving.  Praying for open communication and thanksgiving for the opportunity to hone our relationships to be more Christ like.

Go make a difference in your world!!!
