Words Do Hurt

Well you know the saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me" that my friends is an out and out lie straight from the pit of hell. Yes, sticks and stones do break bones but the part where it says "but words may never hurt me" that isn't true. Words do hurt they may not break a bone or draw blood, they do however can break your heart and hurt your feelings.
  I don't know about anyone else but I can gess there isn't anyone out there that hasn't been hurt at least once with words. It may have been a rude word or a words. It may have been something someone said to you innosencely not meaning it in a mean way but it still hurt.
   
    Paslm 19:14  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

       As I read this verse I was thinking what a wonderful world this would be if everyone lived by this verse. How nice it would be to think before speaking and when speaking knowing in your heart that your words were always pleasing to God. I know that is just a dream but a dream that one day will come true, the day when we all meet in Heaven.
        So why not have a little touch of heaven now and watch what you say to others, think before you speak and see the difference that it makes in your life and the lives of others.

PS
Also watch what you say when you think no-one is listening because just when you think that there is on-one listening someone is, God.
