Be sensitive! 23 July 2006

Too often in life, words are used as weapons— sometimes intentionally, but sometimes accidentally, through carelessness or circumstances. Words can hurt as much as sticks and stones. In many cases the person who inflicted hurt on you is not even aware of your misery, while you are turning yourself inside out with bitterness, the one who hurt you does not feel a thing. The best way to relieve your pain is to forgive the perpetrator.

We must learn how to be sensitive to one another. As Proverbs 25.20 says "Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart."
