Wasted Words

sometimes i am get really disappointed at myself, cause i can't control my tongue all the time.

雖然我跟以前比起,已經少講很多話了。但有時,我還是覺得自己講太多。事過之後,就又覺得很後悔。

我所指的,不是那些一時口舌之快,罵人或批評人的話,而是廢話,可以不必講的話。沉默是金,這不只是一句中國成語,也在聖經中找的到。

多言多語難免有過;禁止嘴唇是有智慧。─ 箴言10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. - Proverbs 10:19

有多少話語,是因為怕沉默、孤單所以才講的?幾乎所有都是,為了要吸引別人的注意。

耶穌有很多時間是單獨與神相處的,我相信祂平常也講很少話的。I want to be like Him.

我要學會完全享受孤獨與沉默,讓我的眼目是單單定睛在神身上,而不是人的眼光,因為他可以滿足我的心的,話語是無法滿足的。

Let my words be few.

謹守口與舌的,就保守自己免受災難。 ─ 箴言21:23
He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity. - Psalm 21:23
