Cussing

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. (Eph 4:29 KJV)

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. (Prov 15:4)

People swear, I get that. Every now and then the most kind and gentle people utter things that they wish they hadn't uttered. But, I am not sure why some people think it is acceptable to use four letter cuss words in every sentence that comes out of their mouths or in every post that they post on social media.  

These curses can be very hurtful and destructive to others even to people we care about. 

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (Rom 13:10)

Words can either a curse or a blessing. What will they be? May God bless the words of our lips that they might edify and not harm others.

Later You Will Understand

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” John 13:7

When Jesus knelt down to wash his disciples feet, Peter did not approve or understand. That is the way with a lot of things that happen in life. Jesus assures us that God has a good purpose for everything that He plans. It may not always feel so good; but, in the end we may look back and smile as we comprehend how God used even things that felt hurtful to further His Kingdom.

May God help us to trust Him in all things.

God's Peace - Pr. J

P.S. I'm sure there is a good reason I am so late in getting this out today... Just don't quite understand it all, yet.
