Cursing
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. James 3:9-12
How many of us said a bad word this week? How many of us thought a bad word this week? Were you nice to every single person you came in contact with, or did you struggle being around some people? Did you actually speak negatively about someone because you let those bad feelings get to your mouth? Yes, these are very harsh questions for those of you reading this, because the truth can be painful. The truth can also be eye opening, and make us realize some things about our own humanity. Remember, we are not perfect like God, but we are created in His likeness, so therefore we have it in each one of us to Love one another and not speak words of negativity. Why not use our same mouths to praise others like we Praise our Lord and Father. It will probably make a difference.
Have a great weekend.
