Rudeness never gets anyone, anywhere….when we are rude to others…and when we say mean and nasty things about others…than it surely does show just exactly what were made of….you know to be kind to someone’s face is an easy thing to do…but to be kind behind their backs, well now that is the godly thing to do….it’s like they say the real test comes when your by yourself, and as well the hard part is after the church service is over…you know we all have our opinions about the service…they should have done this or that…or did you see this or that…see that’s when the testing of everything comes to each of us…learning to keep our tongues…that is the hard part my friends…cause we all always have something that we wanna say…like they say we don’t listen to understand someone we listen to respond to what it is that their saying….if only we did love unconditionally…if only we did take the time to understand others….and if only we knew everyone’s stories….maybe just maybe it would change the way we talk about them and maybe the way we look at them….the word of the Lord says to let our yes be yes and our no be no, it says anything more than this comes the evil one….Matthew 5:37….and the word says, Be not rash with your mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and were upon the earth: therefore let our words be few….Ecclesiastes 5:2….Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding…Proverbs 17:28…I think a lot of times we hurt ourselves all by what were saying…we speak a lot of words….and a lot of times they have no meaning and no fruit whatsoever…everything we speak grows…and whether we know it or not we are speaking to ourselves and we are feeding ourselves by what were saying…so I pray that our words are faith filled positive ones…and that what we hear is building our confidence and building our trust in the Lord our God…for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..Romans 10:17…and we all know that without faith it is impossible to please the Lord..Hebrews 11:6…so let us think about what were saying…and let us quit talking and back biting one another…if you don’t have anything to say that is kind or nice…than choose not to say anything at all…but rather choose to pray about it..and take them words that you have to say and go and tell them to Jesus and see what He thinks about it…cause I’m sure He isn’t going to be all that happy about them…so once again guys please audience of one..which is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…and not just by what were speaking but as well by what were thinking…for our thought life should line up with our outward man as well…let us be pure and holy..and let us be set apart..and be that bright and shining light..shining ever so brightly for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…In His sweet name I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
