Jade, What a powerful devo! I know that this is a battle that we all struggle with, and yet it’s so important. People that don’t know about Christianity or faith may base their perceptions solely on what they hear us say. My heart is to share who God is, so my words carry that weight–and that opportunity.

Good job!

“Gosh don’t get so worked up”, “Can’t you take a joke?” and “It just slipped out of my mouth, no big deal”. These are common expressions we hear everyday! What the poeple saying these things don’t realise is that is IS a big deal. What we say reflects who we are. Some things we say can scar someone for life, yet still people think what we say is unimportant. People should speak more respectfully and kindly, because the way they speak is partly what poeple think of them. See a neglected son grow up upset because his father never told him he loved him, or a lover telling their so-called soulmate that they are a terrible person and then the victim commmiting suicide or watch a president announce something that changes the lives of every living person on the planet and then you’ll know that words are important.Good job, Debra.
