I daresay that all of us have been hurt by someone who said something about us, to us or to others about us, and when finding out, it hurt,
really hurt. Sometimes we may never know what we have said that may have hurt someone.
I've been hurt, many times... but I've let it go.
I've forgiven those who have said things meant to hurt me and meant to hurt my family. I love them, and pray for them. That is the high road Christ has called us to, as His disciples.
Yes, words are far more powerful than we realize.
In the midst of all that has happened on this forum recently, I am being reminded by the Lord that we are accountable for the words we speak. I was just reading in
Matthew 12:35-37 this morning, and the passage found there hit my heart heavily.
