words.
Psalm 57:4
My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Psalm 64:3
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
Proverbs 12:18
There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
Hosea 7:16
They return, but not to him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Words are very powerful. Especially when used the wrong way. I don't know what your spiritual beliefs are, but scripture even warns us of the danger of using our words to cut others. And today I did just that. I was hurt and fired back... It's amazing the things that come out of your mouth before you even realize what you are saying. And we always know just what to say to hurt the ones that we love... And we can always hurt the ones we love the most. And I am guilty of that today.
Instead of using my husbands weak points to build him up as I should have, I threw them at him and used them against him. I basically poured salt in an open wound. And I didn't even realize I had done it until after it had happened and I couldn't take my words back.
As his wife I have a responsibility, not to feed his ego but to protect his identity as a man, my husband and the father of my children. As a Christian I am supposed to not try to "get back at someone" for how they hurt me. And I failed.
Our words are so powerful and we have the power to make or break someone by our tongue. And we need to be so very careful what we say to people and how we say it. Once something is said you cant take it back, you can apologize but you can't replace the piece of that person that has been damaged once your words have been spoken.
