All
relationships cannot last;
marriages cannot be strong.
We're to accept
each person as he or she is,
to build each other up,
to speak words that build up.
Getting along with someone
involves
not only doing things to strengthen,
but also avoiding things that hurt.
Set a guard over my mouth.
O Lord;
keep watch
over the door of my lips.
How many marriages and friendships
have been destroyed
because of criticism
that get out of control?
because of gossip or a word
spoken thoughtlessly or in anger?
A harsh word can't be taken back;
no apology can fully repair its damage.
The tongue also is a fire,
It corrupts the whole person,
sets the whole course of his life on fire,
and is itself set on fire by hell.
These indeed are strong words,
but they're true,
Sometimes it's best to keep silent
or talk less,
especially when our words are filled
with anger;
they can only make things worse.
The Word of God says...
"Do not let any unwholesome talk
come out of your mouths,
according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen."
Remember that
no relationship is completely smooth.
The closer the relationship,
the deeper is the hurt.
are the greatest source of destruction
to a relationship.
If a hurt is allowed to grow,
it deepens
and becomes a barrier
to good relationship.
Even if
a person is fully justified
in feeling hurt,
nothing but harm
can result
if that hurt remains unforgiven.
