Vitriol may tear my soul, but reconciliation is worship.
Matthew 5:21 “You’ve heard it said, ‘you shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.” You may have heard the saying, ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.’ But I say to you, vitriol may tear my soul, but reconciliation is worship. You might not sing this as a rhyme to your kids, but how many of us would do well to check our anger, reduce our criticism and contempt, and instead be kind, and compassionate, gracing one another.
