Sarcasm can start out with an innocent joke or comment but too often wit combined with a little sarcasm begins to cut and before you know it, it begins to divide.
Sarcasm brings division and what we need more of is uplifting and unifying words to hold our families, our churches and our marriages together. You will not find peace and restoration in sarcasm.
Jesus drew many to His side, sometimes He used wit to draw them to His truth but NEVER did He dilute His impact by resorting to sarcasm.
"Be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless–that’s your job–to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:8-9) MSG
Choose your words carefully, choose to be a blessing to someone today. Don't let sarcasm come between you and a blessing!
