word

"What's wrong?" verses "What's wrong with you?"
The first statement..when addressed to a hurting person..makes said person feel loved, cherished, cared for. The second statement...when addressed to a hurting person...makes said person feel alone, abandoned, unworthy....This last week I felt hurt and experienced the effects of both statements
Job's freinds visited him in his distress...and asked him "what's wrong with you?"...and proceded to tell him what they thought was wrong with him. God was not pleased with Job's friends.
Words certainly have the power to hurt or to heal.

Blessed are those who mourn..for they shall be comforted~Jesus

....and that is my sermon to myself today.....
