Will you speak words of Life or Death?

Lately I've been making a video blog. it's been really good for me because I am forced to express myself verbally, I'm good at expressing myself on paper but I havent been that great at verbal expression...but with this Vlog I am doing much better...all thanks to God.

but yesterday was a hard day for me, at least in the morning....
a person on my friends list on facebook (I no longer call him a friend) well he started chatting with me...I was nice to him....then all of a sudden he asked why I was fat in my photo's, it came out of no where and so I didn't know what to say, I asked him if he knew the effect that mean words had on people...but he didn't care...all he cared about was being hurtful and mean....he said a few other vulger things about my weight as well that I dont care to repeat...so I had made a video telling about what he did...because I wanted to be real and show people that their words effect people...

anyway my point is the words we speak to other people can either encourage them or tear them down....our words have that effect, even if we think they dont....so when a person calls you something mean like Karim did to me, then he was speaking failure and discouragement into my life....and it hurt because I thought he was a nice person...but he wasnt...
so when you talk to someone be careful about what you say to them...the Bible says that Life and Death are in the power of the tongue....
God wants us to speak encouragement and life into other people's lives.

but what do you do when someone like karim speaks death and mean words into your life....well it's okay to feel the pain of those words, you never want to suppress the pain, if you do that then it will explode, so it's okay to feel the pain of the hurtful words...BUT always give yourself a time limit....I gave myself 5 mins, I cried, I talked about it, and I felt the pain...but after those 5 mins were over...I was done with the pain....I went into the presence of God and He comforted me and He told me exactly what He thinks about me, I am His beloved daughter, He cares about me and He loves me just the way I am. He filled me back up with His Joy and His Peace.
so when someone speaks hurtful words into your life, give yourself a few mins to feel the pain (no more the 5 mins) but when that time is up...give it all to God and ask Him to tell you what He thinks of you...I promise you He thinks the WORLD of you =)
if you have gone through bullying (that is exactly what this person did) please comment if you want prayer for peace and joy, and I will pray for you.

May God Bless you

Let your Light Shine

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. "
Matthew 5:16


 "But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. "
Matthew 5:39


I had this tested today.....someone who called himself my friend got very angry at me for no good reason and he started cussing and insulting me, calling me stupid and all that....of course the reason why he got angry was very small and a silly reason to get mad at someone...espeshly at someone you suposedly call a friend....he wanted to chat with me on yahoo voice and I had said no....well this is not the first time this has happened between him and I....after the first time he got mad at me for no good reason I made it quite clear that I did forgive him but I didnt ever want to talk with him on mic. anyway back to today's incident....when he was cussing at me and saying all sorts of hurtful things, my human side [the sinful humanly flesh] wanted so bad to rear its ugly head and cuss him out and say hurtful things right back....I almost did too.....but I didn't....I prayed, and I kept my cool no matter what he said to me before I left the conversation....I stayed kind, no matter what he said to me....


One thing that we need to remember, when we become followers of Jesus Christ we want to show others His Love and Mercy, but sometimes someone will come along and tempt us to show our sinful side [by saying mean things back or something like that] and yes we will make mistakes, we will lose our tempers, no matter how much we try we are not perfect....BUT we serve a God who is....if we ask Him to He will calm us in times when we might lose our temper, and He can keep us from temptation....sometimes though we want to accept the temptation and that is when we mess up and sin....but He forgives us and we again ask Him to guild us and keep us from temptation....the important thing that we need to do is when people come into our lives and they and rude, hurtful or mean to us, let them be....dont stoop to their level....instead try praying for them, in doing that you will show them kindness.


anyway I wanted to share this little bit of information, hopefully it will help someone the same way it did me.


God Bless
