11/21/17 BE CAREFUL LITTLE FINGERS WHAT YOU TYPE

It is hard to live with personal, legitimate regrets, it is haunting to live with false accusations made public by loved ones, regardless of their reason. Though, "I am sorry," never pays the bill, it at least allows for some kind of settlement. If you have allowed your anger to strike out at someone, be sure to take steps toward reconciliation, even if you cannot right the wrong you have caused. Saving a relationship is possible, even if saving someone's dignity and reputation is lost.

The internet is neither good nor bad, inherently, but it is a powerful instrument for both good and evil. Be careful this year not to use this tool to hurt someone by false accusations, or publicly revealing personal anger.

One of the problems with something being written is that it is a constant attack, long after any incident (real or imagined) has passed.
One of the problems with something being written on the internet is that a person can be slandered and ridiculed constantly, to the whole world, whether it is accurate or not.

Someone may feel personal satisfaction in publicly slandering another, but that accusation (even when it is false) always hangs around the other person's neck, like a number on a criminal. If the accused is a believer then they are robbed of their influence, whether the accusations were accurate or misrepresented.

Love covers a multitude of sins that others may have committed against us, and love keeps us from holding others up to open disdain.

Beloved, let us love one another. (1 Jn. 4:7)

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
