words

"You can never undo what you said as one's words are seldom forgotten."

this thought came to me last night as i was on my way home from class. recently, my cg is going through the book of James. James 3: 1- 12.

verse 5, likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.

verse 11, can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?

no wonder a famous saying goes "think twice before act". we may apologize when we realized we said the wrong things or with the wrong spirit or attitude, yet our words are deeply embedded in the other person's mind. yes, there is another side of the story that goes something like this, aren't there supposed to be the benefit of the doubt and forgiveness? well, before we go into that, lets do some self reality check on ourselves first.

we are to give an account to the One above for the words that come out from our mouth. at the end of the day, its not about winning or losing in a conversation. its about thinking what's best for the current situation and for the person.

all ears: God will make a way
