Proverbs 15
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. 3 The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. 4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Controlling our speech isn’t easy, because the real problem is not our words but our hearts. Behind the insults, we are likely to find in ourselves an insecurity, fear, or guilt that tempts us to protect ourselves at the expense of another.
Is there an upside to abusive words? No, unless we take them as a warning that we’re not in step with Christ. In His embrace and grace, let’s not lash out at one another in an effort to protect ourselves. —Mart De Haan-

Okay God I get it, so maybe my post was gushing a lot of folly. Harsh words do stir up anger and I guess I just wanted to retaliate. Anyways I thought today's QT was very fitting.

I think that I get easily upset at harsh word, or more the way things are said. I think that's why I've been getting more and more upset these days. I feel like I'm on edge all the time waiting to lash out. The moment I let my guard down more harsh words and then I feel like raging. And I do, but not each time. I hold it in until I can't hold it in any longer. It's like a never ending cycle.
