Today with technology, we can send a message of praise or criticism within seconds. Later for the days where we just said our peace face to face or it took a day before we heard what someone thought. Now we can uplift or lash-out in a split second, sending the message for the view of a large audience.
No one can have an opinion or belief without someone chiming in. While I have seen comments of praise, I have seen just as many critical and downright cruel whips of words. I can’t even fathom how some people can be so mean.
Many times when I read some of the malicious comments I often think of the following scriptures : James 3:4-5 (Living translation)
4. And a tiny rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot wants it to go, even though the winds are strong.
5. So also the tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do.
Where will you set sail today? Before we say anything today whether it’s by old fashion conversation, email, text, twitter or Facebook post “Think First”. Are you doing damage?
Let’s spread more "kindness". As the old saying goes if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.
