back in my college days, one of my favorite past times is to find fault at a passerby. whether it be a bad haircut, fashion victim getup or even a God-given facial deformity, i am sure to make fun of it for my pleasure's sake. i find it fun to do so, because i think it's harmless - i don't humiliate the person in front of spectators, just in my head.
but now that i am with Christ, i am steering away from that evil deed. the usually so easy-to-do criticizing makes me feel very weary-hearted. it sucks the life out of me.
it does not make one "cool" to speak ill of someone, even if one is your enemy or if doing so will make one belong to a crowd of people urging you to do so.
for Jesus said, "But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean." (Matthew 15:18 NIV)
anyway, isn't it easier to speak of good things all the time? most especially, words of praise to our Lord Jesus Christ! \0/
PRAISE BE TO YOU MY LORD!
