Think Before You Speak

What was the last thing that you said to someone? Was it positive or negative? What if you woke up one day and someone was missing from your life, lets say they were called home to the Lord, how would that affect you? Would your actions speak louder than your words or your words speak louder than your actions? Usually when someone loses someone, the first thing that comes to mind is what they last said or did to him or her.

Think about this, was the last thing you said hurtful or uplifting? How did you treat that person? Although we can receive forgiveness from God, it would hurt us more if we knew that someone left this earth and the last thing you did or say to him or her was hurtful. 

Let us please think before we speak or act there is a time and place for everything and even if you are upset don't let your emotions cause your reactions instead let your spirit cause your reactions. Sometimes we choose to nitpick or bicker over something that we don't like about a person when really it is not even that serious.

Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen".
