Ouch!

“Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you. For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.”
Ecclesiastes 7:21-22

Ouch! This verse stings a little doesn’t it? We are always focused on the first part of this verse in our lives. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” We think about the mean things people have said against us and work on moving on from those things. But do we ever stop and think about the things we have said against others? So we think about how our words have hurt someone else and now they are trying to work through that hurt? Let’s turn the mirror around today, friends, and take a good hard look at ourselves and the words that we allow out of our mouths.
