Sticks and stones
They do much more than break bones, they break hearts and cause extreme pain. We need to remember that we can't take things back that we say, anymore than we can take back a physical action. We must remember to do as Paul pointed out "Bless and do not curse." those who speak against us for believing in Christ. That way God can draw the other person to faith and repentance, thus turning our action into eternal glory. Our words can be a mighty testament to our God or turn someone away from Him forever. So speak wisely. God bless! Karen
