I would like to quote here a few lines from Mr. Francis Kong's recent article "The Story of the Seed":
"Scriptures say whatsoever you sow you shall reap.
Plant honesty and reap trust.
Plant goodness and you reap friends.
Plant humility and reap greatness
Plant perseverance and reap contentment
Plant consideration and reap perspective
Plant hard work and reap success
Plant forgiveness and reap reconciliation
Plant faith in GOD and reap a harvest.
I guess the question is what are you planting now?"
Hey you, I hope you realize what people around you have been going through just by listening to you. Yup, you may have a point- a good one- but hey, because of how you say it and talk to us or to them, somehow the message doesn't get through, but what leaves a mark is the hurt you leave after you've said your "right message". For how long will you go on like this? Going around talking to people, pointing out their mistakes and at the same time hurting them by the tone of your voice or even going to the point of being insulting already just to stress your point. I am afraid time will come that you will meet somebody who will do the very same thing to you (you know telling you the right message in a wrong way), as much as I would not want to see you go through that and be spared from experiencing what we experience from you but yet the law of sowing and reaping is very real...so every night I whisper a prayer for you to be gentler and kinder, and to give us the strength everyday to make listening to you bearable...o be careful little tongue what you say and how you speak...God help us!
