and those who love it will eat its fruit."- Proverbs 18:21
Your tongue has the power to Release Life and Death to Others. (Your tongue has the power to Encourage someone or to crush someone.)
Sometimes people say things about us that hurt us so bad whether its intended or unintended to crush us.
I worked in an airline company before as a ground attendant.I was assigned at check-in counter where i have to deal with different types of passenger. Daily routine na nga daw talaga sa airport na may nagwawala, nagagalit na pasahero or what we called "Inconvenient Passengers" (reasons;Cancelled or Delayed Flights, issues with check-in baggage weight, offloaded passengers and many more..). There is some incon passengers who will speak bad words, some will criticize the system of the company, criticize you as a person (fortunately di ko naexperience ma-criticize as a person.) lahat nagagawa nila for the excuse of being angry and irritable.(of course, i understand some of them, we didn't meet their expectations.) but because providing customer service is one of my responsibility wala ako magawa but to receive those kind of harsh words. even though i tried not to be so affected but i always went home crying, I dont know if i was so sensitive pero ang bilis ko talaga masaktan sa mga painful words especially came from others.and well I admit i am the type of person who are always conscious on what other people says about me.(but that was Me before).even my mom told me to fight back with those passengers haha (she just hate to see me crying bcoz of that) but of course i wouldn't do that.
There so many times that i allowed words to crushed me inside. I am a jolly person, fun-loving, laging game and always tried to make other people's happy. that's why they all assumed that Being teased or bullied by my friends and hearing foul or hurtful words are okay because i still smiled after being used as the center of joke. but deep inside those words retain in me, words that are meant to crushed me on the inside. but i also thank the feeling of being verbal bullied, because that experience taught me not to do that to others. not to speak words that will destroy them on the inside. because of course I know the feeling and it makes me so pathetic.
"Do to others as you would have them do to you"- Luke 6:31
But Praise to God! One day my brother shared a message to me He told me that the words you tend to say whether it's good or bad is like a seed na pagtinanim mo sa iba it can be a fruitful or it can destroy them. and same thing para dun sa mag rereceive ng words, if you will accept or believe those negative words that they're trying to sow in you, it will end up crushing you inside. and if you accept naman yung words that brings life nagiging fruitful ka. From that on i always choose the seed na magiging fruitful ako.
"The only way people can crush you is, if you actually trust their words more than you trust your God"- (topic that was assigned for me to teach in our kids church)
If you trust what God says about you more than what people say about you, they can't crush you. but when people try to crush you with their words, trust your God.
Know your God! know what God says about you. write it in your heart! so that whenever satan speak lies on you, NO EFFECT at all. :) because you know the truth from God who is Almighty, Omnipotent all Powerful :)
To God all the Glory!
