Taming the Tongue...

'主啊，

每次当我经历到负面的事，

我总是太快的作论断，

而每当我应该称谢鼓励别人的时候，

我却往往反应的太慢。

主啊，

求您教导我，

知道何时当开口，

何时当静默，

好让我更多彰显您爱的印记.'

'Dear Lord, 

Every time when I'm faced with bad things,

I judge too quickly.

But when I'm supposed to praise, thanks and encourage others,

I do it too slowly.

Dear Lord,

Please teach me and guide me,

So that I'll know when to open my mouth,

When to keep silent,

So that I'll reflect more of Your love.'

Had a discussion on taming the tongue. I really have to agree that, sometimes, I criticise a lot, especially on the certain someone that annoys me a lot. It reaches a point where I no longer smile at him/her and I ignore him/her every single time. This is just bad. The Lord loves us and forgives us despite our sin and yet, I despise him/her badly.

I need to calm myself down. I need to remind myself constantly on this. Love prevails everything. 

Amen.
