The Meditation
A careless word can cut a heart to the quick and
make a lifetime enemy.
A silent love that is sincere and consistent is far
more eloquent and effective than the gushy
sentiment of loud, shallow praise.
The Bible says, “A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
There is a kind way to speak the truth, and thus
you help the person to whom you speak.
When people are frustrated and angry, sometimes
the sacrament of silent love is both healing
and helpful.
Don’t you imagine Jesus just looked love toward
His disciples, toward the sick, toward His
enemies, many times. People read love in His face
and they knew He cared.
Your face is the window through which your heart
of love can shine to brighten the world.
