It’s Better To Keep Quiet Than To Say Something That Will Hurt Others

Your words are so powerful. It can either break or make someone else. So please think first before you say something. It’s better to stay quiet than to say words that will do no good to other people. Those hurtful words will cause wounds to somebody’s heart, and it takes time to heal them. You never really know the impact of those words until you experience it yourself. But you don’t have to wait for it. Do something right now, and try to prevent the worst thing that might happen.

Try your best to control yourself. You may feel angry on the inside, but you can always stay away from those who caused you pain and try to calm yourself. You can always ask for help from God. Instead of releasing negative words, why not cry out everything to God. Tell God about all your worries and cares because He deeply understands you. Share to Him all your frustrations and be honest. He will listen to you. Remember that your Heavenly Father can comfort you.

Staying quiet doesn’t mean that you are guilty. It merely means that you are giving yourself the time to process your emotion. People who are mature enough know how to control themselves. They know when to stop and listen. I hope you will learn to understand others first before you conclude something terrible about them. All you need to do is let your negative emotions subside so that you can think properly. Go to a quiet place and try to process your feelings. Try to figure out the reasons why you feel that way and be patient with yourself. Don’t do something that you will just regret in the end.

According to Matthew 12:34, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So whether you like it or not, the words that you release from your mouth comes from your heart. Remember that hurt people hurt people, so you need to allow God to heal your heart first because if it is still full of negative things, then people may hear negative words from you, and it might hurt them as well. Work on your heart first, and do not be afraid to deal with the pain inside. God will be with you along the process. And only then will you be able to release words that will bless others no matter how bad you feel inside.
