Mental Abuse |
| Mental Abuse - Improper language that unjustly condemns their victim. Name calling such as; Stupid,
ugly, moron to name a few as well as a whole horde of filthy names. The power of name calling wounds deeply causing mental anguish and can seriously effect a person's self image and that may well cause the victim to act out in various negative ways. Many people quote; "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." This concept is a strong lie as far as what 'hurts me." A bone may heal in a few months, but negative or harmful words my dictate my self image for the rest of my life. Although a difficult assignment, the home is to be always a safe haven from name calling. Parents should never call their children names that would tear down their children's self image. Instead, the parents should only use words of endearment and those that are cute or uplifting to their children. At the same time all children in a home should not call one another names either. Everyone experience the negative power of words or names, such as at work or at school, etc. While there is often too little we can do about the abusive language of the world, inside of the home we are to live differently, encouraging one another and building up each other's holy faith with the words we use toward one another. There is a Church where no one is ever permitted to call another person any kind of less than encouraging name. Only name calling allowed is, "brother, sister, Pastor, sir, ma'am, etc. It does not matter what a person is or what they may do whether it is a good or bad act. After spending a week at that Church one summer, one of the teen age boys called to say that the Pastor was the kindest man he had ever met in his entire life. When asked why would say such a thing, he told his Youth Pastor; "Because that Pastor does not allow anyone to call anyone else any kind of name, ever!" Obviously, this young man, like millions of others, knew the power of words that hurt and damage when spoken to or about a person. He found safety at that particular Church during the week he visited there. How about you? Are hateful words still hurting you emotionally, directing the course of your live, often in negative ways?
