What are your words?

I am reminded that no amount of words can convince anyone of anything at times without emotion and heart. We have to actually do what we believe as to show how God works in our lives. 

I get so scared and doubtful at times because I try to rely to much on myself. I let myself down and then I will allow my attitude to dictate how I feel through my actions. I have learned through all these years words do hurt and actions speak very loud. I have also learned that some things people say are just a product of what they believe in themselves and want others to do the same. 

We all disagree but we all can't be right all the time, we need to let others feel the win to and not belittle them even if they are wrong. Words can be so wonderful, so pleasant and so helpful to our hearts at times, but it's in the way we use our words. These awesome meaningful words can also be ugly, and tear up and even kill a heart. 

I really want my words to match my actions, I want to use them to lift not tear down. I know I have moments when I just want to be mean but I can't take it back. You can say sorry 15 times but the hurt is still there in our memory. I saw a quote today that said, I can forgive pretty easy but I don't trust you anymore. That's pretty sad but true. When we use our words to lie, it creates a wall that just gets taller and thicker with time and no amount of " sorry" can completely tear it down. I stop trusting to, I may continue to be here for you but it's a whole different way of thinking for me.

I let my heart guide my way to many times when my head is screaming at me to stop and think . I give the benefit of the doubt when I probably should stop, wait and see first. I have said, I think most people are generally good, my hubby disagrees, but just being good is not enough. We need to protect our heart and our minds from negative words, even if just so we can hear what God has to say. Sometimes there is so much ugly that we can't hear or see the beauty. 

You could be the happiest of a person, but time with negative words, or the way you use your words, slowing take the happy away and make people feel not worthy or respected. It makes you feel sad and like your being disciplined for doing something wrong. Don't push someone to where they finally stop caring just because you don't care enough for yourself or them to keep your pie hole shut. Don't use your words just because you can, use them wisely and you will not only lift someone else up you will do the same for yourself.

That old rhyme sticks and stones may break my bones but words we never hurt me... false, they do hurt, break and destroy . So clean out your heart so what comes out, matches what your doing and what your claiming to believe .  Remember what's in your heart you speak. So what are you speaking?
