I hate it when people swear, ESEPCIALLY my friends. It's weird that I find it easier to forgive them when they drink and blaze but swearing.... seriously man.. it's like a constant wave of sin. Sure it's not like they're constantly being drunk or constantly high, but constant swearing? Foreal? You know what they say, "sloppy language means sloppy thinking."
If there's anything I hate more than pride, it's swearing.
And it sucks because in all honesty I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CALL MY FRIENDS OUT. Or lovingly correct would be a better way to say it. For me it's easier to lovingly correct sisters but even then I'm not too sure. Brothers? Don't even get me started. There's only one brother I know that I can lovingly correct and trust that he'll show an honesty in trying and that's Alo... that's probably why I consider him my closest guy friend out of everyone.
All the other brothers I have NO COURAGE at all to lovingly correct. Why? Because I'm afraid of 1. Pride and 2. Fear of rejection. sad I know, some friend am I right? But I guess I've just been hurt a lot by being pushed away from other brothers because I was "too holy".... Last time I checked being "holy" was being WHO YOU ARE. And they're not being who they are...
Sorry guys, but I'm not choosing the world standards over God's just for a couple of times of "acceptance."
You're afraid I'm going to judge you? Why would I judge you? You're my friend, I love you. Besides, God is the only One who can judge.
Peace.
“But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” - Matthew 12:36-37
just sayin...
