On social media, you can find thousands of people overreacting to circumstances. These people, often referred to as “Karen”, think that they have control over the events and react angrily when things do not go their way. However, their anger and harsh words rarely accomplish very much, other than probably raising their own blood pressure.
Proverbs 25:15 says, “With patience, a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.” Speaking with gentleness and patience can accomplish far more than harsh and angry words. God often uses gentle words of grace and mercy when speaking to us. We should try this same approach when speaking with other people.
