My mother always said "if you can't say something nice, then be quite".
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me"
No so, words cut you to your core.
They can tear down or build up.
Tear down definition
To pull apart by force, cause distress
Build up definition
Praise that boost confidence
Faceless trolls on the internet are really nasty.
They bully with words.
Their words cut deep wounds that bleed little bits of who you are.
Sadly, some people will carry the scars a life time.
Those who are insecure in who they are will suffer as if they were physically wounded.
Trolls viciously attack people for being different, in appearance, in looks and because you disagree with their view.
A troll is a person who thinks his deeds are hidden and he can spew his nastiness without repercussions.
They hide behind what they think is anonymity.
Trolls make a habit of spewing hate.
Some will graduate to being a bully.
They will use their fist to inflict suffering.
Their families will suffer.
What is wrong with their soul?
Is it bitterness, evil, inadequacy, stupidity or just foolishness?
For sure, it is yielding to Satan and the destroying road of sin!
You will be held accountable!
The word of the Lord is very clear about your secrets and your careless words.
Lord, help us not to judge.
15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them
16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. - Romans 2:15-16
Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God. - 1 Corinthians 4:5
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;
11 for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. - Romans 14:10-12
35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.
36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,
37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." - Matthew 12:35-37
There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. - Proverbs 12:18
My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts- the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. - Psalm 57:4
