My first devotional EVER!
In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with
God. The Word was God.
John 1:1
You've heard again and again "Actions speak
louder than words." But do words HURT more than
actions? Well they hurt God more than actions.
You can do a lot of things and say a lot of
things to God and he'll still love you. Lying
still hurts others more because it hurts
feelings not just their body. It strikes deeper
and leaves a longer lasting hole. Gossiping
badly about others can hurt God's feelings, too,
because your using his words he made to talk
badly about his creations. Maybe if we remember
this we can hurt less people and hurt God less.
Girls gossip day to day making up stories or
just spreading misheard news. They have fights
and friends get split up just because of one
misunderstood piece of information. Maybe if we
gossiped less and concentrated more on what God
would want us to say, these fights wouldn't
happen and we could take away that hurt that God
feels when we hurt his people. |
