Words
I haven’t blogged in quite some time. I feel the need to
though. As a lot of you know I now have a girlfriend named Becky.
We were talking Friday night and we both talk a great deal about
everything. I told her I had been thinking. Becky and I come from
very broken past relationships. I told her that she needs compliments and
words of encouragement and affection as much as I do. Because of our past
relationships we have been through emotional and verbal abuse that no one
should go through. It falls on me as her boyfriend to build her up.
The first day we met she told me I mattered to her. When you’ve
been emotionally at a point that you feel like you matter to no one just
hearing that can make you cry tears of happiness. She did make me cry.
Each day we compliment each other. You have people in your life
who are dying emotionally and need some words of kindness. God doesn’t
bring them into your life by chance. How you interact with people says a
lot about you as a person. I have another friend Erica who uses her Facebook
page to try and build people up all the time. You can build people up
with written communication, spoken words face to face or just making someone
feel like they matter.
Proverbs 18:21 says this
“Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you
choose.”
Romans 12:18
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with
everyone.”
Use your words carefully people, don’t be the reason someone suffers
verbal abuse.
