As I read some of the postings on Facebook, it hurts my heart. There is seldom a posting about any subject but what there is someone who feels the need to post something negative. It may not even be about the subject originally posted.
Why is there such negativity around us? I feel sure there are a lot of children who leave their home on the way to school remembering how they were yelled at by a parent for something that morning. Parents, those words are with your child all ...day. Suppose before that day ends, the parent who spoke those angry words is taken from this earth. Are the last words you spoke to your child the words you want them to remember you by?

Spouses, the same can be said for you. Would you rather your husband or wife remember the last ugly thing you said to them should the Lord remove you from this earth or would you rather they remember you hugging them, smiling at them and saying "I love you" ?
Our words are so powerful. You can build another up or you can tear them down. Think about the words you have spoken or written this week. Are you intentionally working to build up those around you, or have you thoughtlessly allowed destructive words to come out?
Remember this........the negative , hurtful things that come out of ones mouth are not placed there by our Heavenly Father, but by the Ruler of Darkness who walks upon the earth seeking whom he may devour.
"Some people like to make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise soothe and heal." Proverbs 12:18 (TLB)
