Misunderstood? Shush Little Mouth!


My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. JAMES 1:19

You open your mouth, you text, you tweet, you email and the receiver of your message totally takes what you wrote wrong and gets very upset or disappointed with you. Sometimes it is even a relationship breaker. Does this sound familiar to any one? 

Words can be either be healing or destructive. Speaking is an area you have to almost walk on egg shells at times and sincerely think through what you are going to say if you have doubt to how the receiving individual will react to it. Sometimes you may speak in a totally innocent manner meaning no harm,  and the person who is on other end totally explodes at you. Then it is between you, them, and God to work things out so a friendship is not ruined. 

It is no doubt the enemy comes to destroy relationships and he uses our words to assist in the manner. Some people may be hurting deep down and perhaps misunderstood what you were trying to communicate. Give your burden in this area to the Lord and let Him touch the other person’s heart to be understanding and loving. 

PRAYER: I hate it when misunderstandings occur because of words taken the wrong way. I will not allow Satan to work on me in this area and rebuke him by the blood of Jesus. I ask any broken hearts from words misunderstood to be mended. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
