          Do not allow another’s harsh, thoughtless, or self-serving words to drag you into a place of retaliation or reaction, which will fill your vessel with regret.  The only response to a slight or hurtful remark is a silent, “forgive them they know not what they do.”  That is it.  That is all you need do.  And while the temptation to react in kind rather than to respond with kindness, will be great, once you practice the simple forgive them prayer, it will come naturally to your ways, and then your ways will be Mine.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Hold your tongue, when tempted to lash out.  It will get easier as you turn inward and listen to My whispers.  Then, with practice, it will be natural to turn inward and know My whispers.
