Have you ever said something that as soon as it left your lips, you start trying to suck it back in? Oh, man! I shouldn’t have said that! Too late, it’s already out there.
Proverbs 16:23 NLT, “Intelligent people think before they speak. . .”
Well, long story short, I was not intelligent. I spoke before thinking and I hurt Becca with my words. My careless tongue hurt the person I love most.
Now, the words I said could only be forgiven. . . not forgotten.
Thanks be to God that the two of us understand the power of forgiveness. I confessed to her that I was sorry for the pain my words caused and that I had not loved her the way a husband should love his wife.
I asked for forgiveness and that is what she gave me. Which is exactly what I needed.
This quote also seems to apply:
“Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out.”
Not sure where that came from. Most likely someone’s momma.
