October 10 Chp 89 v 50 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

Consider , Lord , how your servants are disgraced ! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

Step 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Insults are like arrows from an archers bow .Once the arrow is fired there is no stopping it . Depending on how deep the penetration determines the wound .Wounds can be fatal and , someones life can end immediately .Other wounds become infected when not taken care of immediately ,leading to infection and then a very painful slow tortuous death. Consider your words now picture them as arrows .Now think about how wreckless you have been . Really dig deep and ponder your relationships and think about the last time you were with someone. Did you leave them with an arrow sticking out of their chest .Did you leave them to die slowly .If they are still on planet earth ,you gotta a chance to mend their wounds . Step nine is the medicine are you willing and brave enough to apply , no one deserves to die a slow agonizing death so do the right thing ,the healing you give will also become a healing received !

Proverbs 18 v 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
