Murderer!!!

Most people when asked what commandment they are least likely to break would say, "I'm not a murderer!" And yet that is one that we all break. What you say? Mostly, this occurs because we have a limited understanding of what murder is. It is not just taking the life of someone. It is literally killing any part of a person. We kill/murder mostly with words. We murder a person's spirit, their self-worth, their reputation, and so on. Anger kills. Jealousy kills. Name calling is just plain murder. Thank goodness God loves us and forgives are sins. But remember we are then called to go and sin no more. Be aware! Think before you speak. Affirm and build up each other instead of tearing down and killing the spirit.
