"Movement, objects, speech, words:
We communicate through gross symbols.
We call them 'objective,'
But we cannot escape our point of view."
The main Bible verse I chose for today, I feel, reflects this "grossness"; not everybody has the same idea of what constitutes a word fitly spoken, in due time. Words spoken in true righteousness can still be twisted in order to condemn the speaker. What I struggle to remember is that all human points of view are limited; as such, the words spoken to express them must be chosen carefully. Perhaps such care must be learned separately; it reminds me of the plaque on the wall of my grandparents' home: "If you do not understand my silence, you will not understand my words." May God come to me in my silence, that He may guide me in my words, forever.
