Good morning! How are we faithing? We have to be careful what we say and when we say it. We have to have wisdom as to when silence is more comforting than words. I hear people at funerals trying to console and their words just fall to the floor. Cry with people who are hurting. Hug people who feel lonely. Give a blanket to those who are cold. Laugh and smile when good things are shared. Our wisdom is not only shown with words. Our love for others as Jesus loves manifests itself by being able to sympathize and empathize with the situation at hand. It isn't about you when others hurt therefore think what you would like to hear in those situations...or not hear. Think what helps you and what makes you roll your eyes and act accordingly.
Colossians 3:12-14And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
NAS
Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
NAS
Proverbs 30:32-33
If you have been foolish in exalting yourself
Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.
For the churning of milk produces butter,
And pressing the nose brings forth blood;
So the churning of anger produces strife.
NAS
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for your touch on our lives. Lord we ask for discretion and honor in all we say and do. Teach us to see truth. Thank you for your blessings even when we cannot see them. Help build confidence in your ways so we follow them without hesitation. In Jesus name, amen
