💫 DEVOTED TO OUR WORDS 💫

Matthew 5:33-37

💡Essentially, Jesus Was Saying: If You Tell The Truth You Don't Have To Back it Up With An "I Promise".

Matthew 5:33-37

1. Are You Known As A Person Of Your Word?

|| The promises we make set up expectations – often fairly ordinary expectations – but people arrange their behavior and their choices based on these expectations. If for some reason we can’t keep a promise or if we break it thoughtlessly, experiences of betrayal and disappointment can be acute, depending on how important the promise was.
~Christine Pohl

2. Are You Adding Unnecessary Weight To Others?

Acts 2:42-47

Acts 5:1-5

💡 3 Ways To Become Better Communicators &To Mean What You Say:

1. Practice Listening

James 1:19

|| "Active listening requires a de-centering from one’s fixed position to be fully present with another. It helps people feel more understood and strengthens relationships as it signals a willingness to sit with the other’s perspective and empathy for their situation instead of singular focus on oneself."
~ Dr. Sabrina Romanoff

2. Think Before You Speak

Proverbs 17:27-28

3. Follow Through On Your Word

Ecclesiastes 5:4-5

|| “When we make and keep promises, we create islands of predictability amid the unpredictability of human affairs and the unreliability of human beings.”
~Hannah Arendt
