Thank God for the Holy Ghost and for His reminder as well that HE will speak to our critics and HE will be our strong tower in the face of adversity.
And you are SO right about being in His presence. It softens the hardest heart and brings repentance and healing....if we would but spend more time there.
Words are indeed powerful and carry tremendous weight everywhere, but never as much I thing as in the realm of the Spirit.
The old nursery rhyme is wrong...words can and do hurt, wound and even kill. They may not harm the body, but they can harm the soul and spirit of an individual, which to me is worse. |
I was thinking this very thing, about myself, while I was posting my response.
So easy to preach and become a castaway, huh? lol
