Uncertain.....

Talks
Gossip, lies, a hurtful word--
The tongue's an evil thing
When before we stop to think
We let our voices ring.
Do we inquire about the source?
No, we give no thought to clearing
The tale before we repeat it
Within someone else's hearing.
Proverbs tells us we are fools
When we are gossiping.
Oh, if we'd only turn our eyes
On Jesus, our Lord and King.
For Satan always looks for ways
To leave his powerful sting.
What better way than unwholesome talk,
Whispering, and backstabbing?
The Bible is full of caution
About this very thing.
When we hear some nasty talk
To God, give everything.
Push all ungodly thoughts aside;
In prayer, it's God we're nearing.
When to Jesus we reach out,
He gathers us under His wing.
He is the Way, the Truth, the Life,
And to Jesus we must cling.
When we are tempted to speak ill,
Back to the Word we should spring.
So when we next hear gossip,
Slander, lies, criticizing,
This time open our mouths
And only the Gospel sing.
For in love we can correct
A fellow friend who flings
A hurtful word about someone else.
This Word salvation brings. (By Kimberly B. Southall)
SO many people out there inculding myself attack others without knowing it. Not knowingly how human tongue can do so much damage in another person life. The fact is that, when we are hurt by people, at the same time, we might be guilty of hurting another person.
yes yes I know, like what yeen teng had told me before about stepping into the working life you will face even more and worst of such cases, But to think of it, is there a need to? ? ?
But in the bible, God already say there will be, so I felt that no matter how hard I want to change is wont make much different huh?
What encourage me most was what I learn before in church,
If you,
Treat evil with evil --- you are human
Treat good with evil --- you are devil !
Treat evil with good --- You are christian !
So which one are you? I really hope and want to fall under the last group, trying hard to. And I do believe that it is possible, as in the bible it is said that we are created in God's likeness, So if Jesus in human flesh, He still prayed for the people who Crucified Him saying " Oh God, please forgive them, as they do not know what they are doing".
So if Jesus are able to pray for forgiveness for the people who nailed him on the cross in such great pain, what's more are we to complain that we CANNOT? I need to learn this !! !!
