Words

Words.

Well-meaning people often try to come up with something to say, when there are no words that can help. Saying too much can make the situation worse. Maybe you’ve heard some of these words that don’t help:

● God must have needed another angel in heaven.
● You’re young. You can marry again.
● You can always have more children.
● They’re in a better place.
Insensitive remarks often come from people who have no idea what you’re feeling right now. If you’re tempted to strike back and set the record straight, it might be wise to take a deep breath and count to 10. Hopefully the well-meaning person will learn from your silence!

Some words that can help are:
● I’m so sorry.
● I can’t imagine how you must be feeling.
● I’d love to bring you a meal.

We can’t control others’ words.
But in James 1:19, Jesus’ gives us three tips to manage our words in any situation: Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry.

I thought about the lives of others that would be affected if I had passed away. With all these thoughts running through my mind I knew at that point my Heavenly Father gave me his strength to choose life. There are too many widows allowing their grieving to become a stronghold, as if they have shackles around them. The enemy does not want you to move forward, he wants to break you. Moving forward is hard but letting go of the past is the hardest. God allows us to g...

Hey Y’all, Sharing time lol. He Is My Fortress, April month is a challenging month for me, losing my husband was the most toughest challenge I had to face in my life. I know that God was always there for me when I was really weak and when I was about to give up. God also gave me other ways of his Love, Help and Support. He gave me my amazing sisters Suita Taupau and Mileta Taupau, my loving parents, my family and my mates. God uses you as a vessel to help others, every good deed you do gives God the full Glory he deserves. Let’s tap into the WORD.
