BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SPEAK AND HEAR

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SPEAK AND HEAR

As a group of frogs traveled through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit.  When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they advised the two frogs that sadly there was no hope for them.

However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and proceeded to try and jump out of the pit.  Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit still insisted that they should just give up since they would never make it out.

Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and gave up, falling to his death.  The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.  Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to put an end to his pain and just die.  He seemed to jump even harder and finally made it out.  When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?”  The frog explained to them that he was deaf.  You see, he thought they were encouraging him the entire time. 

People’s words can have a big effect on other lives. Think about what you say before it comes out of your mouth.  And by the way, be careful about what you choose to hear.  It might be the difference between life and death.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
