Have you ever been in
a conversation with someone and out of nowhere you start to disagree with each
other. And before you know it, you are in a shouting match? One minute the
conversation is going fine, and before you know it, hurtful words are being
spoken. Do you try to understand the other persons point of view, or is your mind
made up and you don't care to hear what the other person has to say?
Almost always, conversations like these turn into shouting matches where hurtful words are spoken that cannot be taken back.
I'm sure most of us have found ourselves in a situation like this but the Word of GOD says in Proverbs 17:27 - A truly wise person uses few words; A person with understanding is even-tempered. The Word of GOD also says in Proverbs 15:1 - that a gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger.
GOD want us to listen to each other with compassion and speak to each other with grace.
The next time you find yourself in a conversation that appear to be spiraling out of control, before you speak another word, ask yourself if what you are about to say would be pleasing to the ears of JESUS.
