Lord, please help me to change - Judith Couchman

LORD, PLEASE HELP ME TO CHANGE2. I s there trut h i n thi s person's words ?Words t o the wis e about messengers :The right word spoken at the right timeis as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.A wise warning to someone who will listenis as valuable as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.Trustworthy messengers refresh those who send them,like the coolness of snow in the summertime.People who brag about gifts they never giveare like clouds and wind that give no rain.With patience you can convince a ruler,and a gentle word can get through to the hardheaded.Don't brag about tomorrow;you don't know what may happen then.Don't praise yourself. Let someone else do it.Let the praise come from a stranger and not fromyour own mouth.Stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,but a complaining fool is worse than either.Anger is cruel and destroys like a flood,but no one can put up with jealousy!It is better to correct someone openlythan to have love and not show it.The slap of a friend can be trusted to help you,but the kisses of an enemy are nothing but lies.When you are full, not even honey tastes good,but when you are hungry, even something bittertastes sweet.10
