I came across a church not far from where I live, and the sermon I listened to is about how reckless conversation creates a reckless life and lifestyle. An unbridled tongue. Words have power to destroy a person. Wound someone. And what comes out of the mouth reveals what's in the heart. A prideful heart kills relationships. Damages our witness or credibility and breeds lasting consequences and paves a path to give the enemy more foothold in your life. That's why Scripture says to be slow to speak and quick to listen. For both parties in a relationship. It takes two to end a relationship. And it also says be gentle and willing to forgive. Only by the power of grace can we genuinely and humbly do that. To wear that attitude and mindset takes time. Processing wounds or offenses generally does. Healing should never be rushed because of that. There's so much to learn during those stages. Self-discovery and learning about God.
No matter what a person has said or done, retaliation is never an answer. Both parties end up hurt when we act or react from the flesh. This is really good stuff I just wanted to share lol
