Unkindness
Even when we think that we are spiritually mature
and inside God's grace,
that is not always the case.
If your own life isn't right, then often the words
that come out of our mouth can be laced with venom.
God help the gentle soul who is the recipient of that
misplaced poison.
We must learn to be aware of how we really are towards
others... be aware of what comes out of our mouth,
how certain things are said,
or whether or not some things need to be said at all.
Because words can be full of helpful and kind meaning -
delivered with appropriate tact...
or words can be a sewer pipe that has been broken,
so that only garbage comes out.
