Silence
Tell me,is silence a sign of weakness? defeat? guilt? Or isn’t it showing one’s strength, that no matter how provoked or pushed against the wall one maybe, one has the grace and self-control to not speak or talk so as not to dignify other’s accusations. Let them throw words at you, but don’t retaliate, especially speaking without thinking, words once said will be hard to retract, well maybe that’s why in the bible it says that no one can tame a tongue, it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison….oh well, again it is said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks…want to know the character of a person and what he or she treasures, then listen intently and you’ll know…
Silent because guilty? my dear, don’t judge because with the same measure you judge you shall be judged…
Silence is beautiful… it cleanses and refreshes one’s mind and spirit…in the stillness of your surroundings, listen to God..hear what He has to say…
Silence does not destroy, rather it gives the other party doing the talking the chance to either redeem themselves or just bury themselves deeper by going on with their chatter….my silence was because i wanted to give others the chance to go back and repair the damage they have done, but alas, with their many words, they have burned the bridge down…now there’s no going back- no bridge to pass anymore because it was burned down by the fiery words they have spoken…did i burn them down? look ma, no hands- i didn’t carry any flamethrower …
Now let me revel in my silence….
