"Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be."
James 3:9-10
James is talking here about how we communicate. He points out that we often worship God with our mouths, and then turn around and think that it is okay to curse his children. "These things ought not so to be." God loves all of his children, and he is the judge. He asks us to love our enemies, so it's pretty clear that he is asking us to love even the people that most seem like exceptions to this rule, no matter how bad.
Today, let's remember that God wants us to love, not to hate or criticize or mock. Let's work on seeing the good in others, and on being the kind of people that we want to be... kind, loving, helpful... and honoring others as God's precious children.
