"This is my blog, I can do whatever I want with it!If you don't like it then don't read it"

A fren once commented on my blog posts and that was my reaction to it, thinking back I've realised that is a very immature and selfish response. There are people out there reading blogs, frens who silently read your blog but u never knew...or maybe even pastors have been reading ur blogspots*gasp :) but yea ppl read blogs and the content of each post can build or hurt people. Sometimes in our frustration or anger we put up posts that hurt people intentionally or unintentionally and all we can say is it's my blog so I can do whatever I want with it, not realising the damaged we have caused, out of our selfishness we cause harm to people because we want to let it out.

A pen is mightier than a sword, you don't need to kill someone physically with a knife...it's easier to do it with our words. I am guilty of that, saying many things without much thought I know I've cause many people hurt knowingly and unknowingly...to make things worse I talk alot. Its a journey that I admit is hard and long, and I don't know if I'll change for the better or just give up, but God is a good/gracious and He is the God of second chances, if He's going with me in this journey then I better not lose out.

Some verse I looked up to help me remind myself and I hope it helps and encourages you.

Ephesians 4:29. "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

Proverbs 12:18 "Reckless words pierce like a sword."

Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips."
