All Feelings Aside, Let's Communicate
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
communication as information transmitted or a verbal or written message. A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior.
Oh communication!
Lets have a frank talk, shall we?
I've found you to be complicated
and many don't like you.
Maybe they fear the worse.
Or maybe don't want to deal
with things if they get awkward.
So, very few practice you.
If some dare do,
they are retaliated against
and flattened.
They are punished.
All feelings aside, lets talk it out.
Lets put aside malice.
Malice is the intention or desire
to do evil while you share.
You don't have
the person's best interest
and come at things with ill will.
Your intention is wrong.
You may choose words
to increase shame or guilt
in a desire to get back
at the person.
Many times, communication,
you aren't effective because
the one talking is trying
to cover up for something else.
It wasn't anyone's fault
that you were not effectively used,
it was the unwise choices
and the deceitfulness of heart.
This kind of stuff ruins you.
Lying never gets to the truth.
Hopefully, fear of rejection
won't be the guide next time.
And how about when anger
and wrath are seething inside?
Everyone knows how that goes!
All feelings aside,
is it possible
to effectively communicate?
How about trying to put down
another person because you feel
so strongly inside about them?
Communication, you will never
be right that way.
And have you heard
the words used?
Cursing, filthy language,
degrading, accusing
and assuming?
The very best communication,
all feelings aside
will come as you put aside
malice, anger, wrath,
blasphemy and lying.
Take those to God
casting all your care on Him first.
He is a God of justice.
All injustice He will take care of.
Once the injustice of it all
has been surrendered to Him,
then wait on Him
for the right opportunity
to speak to the one.
Cloth yourself with humility.
God resists the proud.
Much grace will come from Him
when you are humble.
Pride will always rob
sweet relationship.
Put on the new man
God made you to be.
You are being renewed
in knowledge - the knowledge
that is according to God.
Now enjoy your
new found relationships
through effective communication.
"But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,
and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.."
