Words that hurts… Ouch!!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

 ¹ There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot, 

 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build, 

 ⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance, 

 ⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 

 ⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away, 

 ⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak, 

 ⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
   a time for war and a time for peace.

There is a time for everything, a time to be silent and a time to speak.

Recently, there are too many stories that people use words as their weapons to hurt others while they try to protect themselves, these stories are all around me and my friends.

• When you have done something that they dislike, people backstab you.

• When you have done something that people think you have hurt them, people backstab you.

• When you have done something that people think you have hurt their close one/love one, people backstab you.

Words are powerful weapons that can hurt your spirit. They can create barriers in your heart and mind. If we are not careful, sometimes one little phrase can hold us back for years. Worst still, it will paralyze you from trust and love ever again.

I am not saying that I am always right or my friends are always right. For sure we have our part of responsibilities to bear in everything we do and say, in every decision that we make. But it goes the same to the other party.

Therefore, when things goes not right or wrong for you, or when any decision made that hurts you, don’t go to tell the whole world what that particular somebody has done to you and how hurt you are. Instead, think of your responsibility. Coz when words come out from your mouth, you hurt the somebody.

And before you go to spread the rumors you have heard, from your close one/ love one, think twice. Is what you heard the whole truth? Or there are hidden story? And what is the meaning to spread the words all over the world?

There is a time for everything, a time to weep and a time to laugh.

Friends, it’s hurtful to be backstabbed. It’s ok if we need to take some time to cry over it. But after all, we need to learn to get back up and go again. We must cast those words down, don’t let the words linger around our mind, get them off. If those people purposely said those words to hurt us, they will be happier than ever to see us get angry or hurt.

So, the question is, why you want to grant them the happiness they want in hurting you?

It's not up to us to control how people think or say, so JUST SMILE AND RELAX. 

Guide our heart well.

If there’s our fault, correct it.

If we have done our BEST, then God will do the REST.
