Have We Opened Our Ears to What Does Not Edify Us?

“Take care with everything we hear and move forward, because our words can hurt and hurt the heart of the person”, urges Deacon-Nelsinho photo: file/cancaonova.com

Which attitude do we have of what people say of us? Are we passive in all that we hear? We should not listen to what does not edify us; We have to cut out everything that makes us ill.

Let’s break with this cycle that destroys us when we listen to everything they say about us. If we have ears, those words will be weighed on our hearts and we will not be able to control our emotions. We must not act by human impulses.

When certain subjects hits our ears , we should question ourselves if all this is true. Do not dialogue with temptation, but let us try what comes from God.

Let us not talk about our brothers, but take care with everything we hear and move forward, because our words can hurt and hurt the hearts of people. Sometimes you have an idea of a person by all who spoke of him or her, but, when we get closer, we see that things are less magnified than we imagined.

Let us ask the Lord to free us of all contaminated words, that wounded us and hurt us, and slander to which we were attacked. Our Father frees us and cleanses us of all the words we use to talk about other people and may we have the courage to break away from everything that does not edify.
