E.Umana here, let me know what you think of this. Do you agree with my post?

If asked what the most dangerous human body part is, most would probably say the arms or the legs; but many theologians would say that its the tongue, as mentioned by R.C Sproul.

With the tongue we both praise God and curse each other. He also went on to tell the story of a girl who had crooked teeth, very poor eyesight so intense that she had to wear those unsightly coke bottle type glasses, the ones with the very thick lenses and to top it off,she had persistent acne,she used to get made fun of mercilessly.

As she entered adolesence around 13 to 14 years of age, her body started to develop physically and the boys started to notice her and as she was within earshot of some boys talking, she heard one of them say in effect that she has a great body; but he’d have to put a bag over her head in order to have sex with her.

This girl’s self esteem was crushed.

Proverbs 18 v 21 The power of life and death is in the tongue.

Braces straightened her teeth, clearasil cleared up her pimples and contacts got rid of the need for glasses. This “ugly duckling” grew up to be a beautiful swan (A very beautiful woman) and yet 25 years later, she had to go to R.C. to say that she couldn’t respond to her husband as she didn’t feel that she was beautiful. R.C. was so stunned that when she told him this,at first he thought that she was kidding;but realized that she was not.

The tongue can be used to for good or for evil, with it a person can be inspired to great heights of accomplishments or it can tear a person apart to the deepest depths of despair and even suicide.

There is a thing such as constructive criticism like the widely, almost reviled Simon Cowell formerly of American Idol.

As a former judge on The TV show American Idol, his caustic criticism caused animosity,even tears and insults from prospective musical artists, even though some of this criticism was entirely accurate.

On the other hand, fake praise can damage a person’s psyche. You’ve probably heard about parents watching their children play sports or engage in some other activity, saying for example Great job Timmy,just for trying. My question is what has Timmy accomplished? I don’t believe in praising mediocrity. Words of encouragement is one thing, excessive praise is another thing.

Last month, I saw the story of a 7 year old, whose ears stuck out and was frequently teased to the point of her parents paying for her to have surgery to make her ears less noticeable.

They showed the before and after pictures.The difference was striking.

From Foxnews.com

“This was a preventative way, so she wouldn’t get bullied,” Cami Roselles told the morning show. “Kids are mean. That’s just how they are.”

Her daughter had a procedure called an otoplasty, also known as ear pinning surgery,

The taunts if not countered with family and school involvement could affect her for life. I don’t know if surgery, other than for something that is life threatening is best for someone so young as her body is still growing and developing.

That throws out the adage “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Words do hurt and can strike into the psyche of a person long after the physical wounds have healed.

Let me know what you think of this

Till Next Time.
