Last week I said some thoughtless things to a dear, sweet friend of mine. She is precious to me and although I didn’t mean to hurt her I did. I really did not intend to be mean or thoughtless or cruel. But, from her point of view, I was…and that is all that matters.  At this point, the reason why I said what I did doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is that she did not understand what I said and was hurt by it. I’m praying that she can forgive me. Words should be a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and pleasing to the bones (Proverbs 16:24)…mine were not.  Lord, forgive me for not glorifying You. I’ve learned a few things about myself during this time that I’m not to proud of. Change me Lord. Make me more like You. Let my conversation always be full of grace (Col. 4:6), keep my tongue from evil (Psalm 34:13), help me to utter wisdom, and speak what is just (Psalm 37:30), let no unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs (Eph. 4:29).  Dear friend forgive me, I was a poor testimony and an even worse friend. God bless you. You are dear to me.

love you,

dani
