It has been a while since I have written.
I will do my best to write more in the near future, but today what is on my mind is communication.
What is more important? what you intended to communicate or how it was interpreted?
Friends, we need to watch our words closely. I have been on both ends of this. I have said something and then bit down as I quickly inserted my foot; but I have also been on the receiving end.
A friends was trying to express something to me, but it came out very hurtful.
The answer? Trust in Jesus, do it out of love, and ask Jesus first, "is this what you want me to say?".
Stopping to think before we respond is extremely important.
It is with our words that we can give life or speak death. We can build up or tear down.
Father, take my mouth and may the words that I speak be pleasing in your sight! Psalm 19:14.
That's all for now
Jacqueline
