Being Quite

“A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life, but willful contrariness in it breaks down the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4 AMP
It’s very odd of me blogging almost daily. I have to teach myself to be more expressive and open. I am normally a quite person who can make anyone feel so uncomfortable with my deafening silence. I used the silence technique very often to weed out true friends.
I’ve learned this truth before that talk is cheap, too much talking can cause you a lot of trouble. I’ve also learned that when you are a quite person, people will carefully listen to you when you speak.
Our tongue has a special purpose, it is designed to uplift others. It’s job is to build up a person and not destroy. It’s for encouragement, it is for giving hope and assurance that everything will be alright. It’s not for gossiping nor for destroying a character or reputation.
So if you find yourself not uplifting someone, it is time to close your mouth.
I better keep quite now since I’m talking too much already.
“The true measure of friendship is when silence is comfortable”.
Regards to all.
