She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and
in her tongue is the law of kindness (Proverbs 31:26).
If you were to take notice
of the women in your surrounding circle, I am willing to bet that you would
most likely say that they are nice women
because they are polite: they say, “thank you” and “please,” don’t forget your
birthdays, and sometimes offer to pick up the tab. And yes, those are nice actions, but being nice to others
rarely takes any effort, especially when someone is nice to you in return.
However, showing kindness can sometimes take us out of our comfort
zone; particularly, when someone says something to offend us. As women, we have
no problem telling it like it is. We feel the right to express ourselves when
deemed necessary. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with expressing what’s on
our minds and at other times, it is best that we keep silent. We have to be
very conscientious of the words that come out of our mouths and in which the
tone that we say them, even to our worst enemies.
Because women are innate nurturers,
our words hold lasting effects that can either destroy someone’s life or build
someone up. Being kind, entails genuinely
showing mercy and love through your words to people that mistreat or misuse you
and withholding from calling them out of their name when they make you angry.
So remember ladies, if you
want your spouse to show you kindness by not calling you out of your name or
disrespecting you when you have done something to offend him, then you must
demonstrate this same trait. Rule of thumb: if you cannot respond in a kind
manner, keep silent.
XOXO,
Jay
