My Last Last Word

I just remembered another thing I must say before the end of this year, in case I forget about it. I want to talk about teasing. In the past, I am quite 'open' to teasing as long as it doesn't goes out of control. People like to tease somebody about something or somebody with somebody. Initially, I am pretty fine with both but lately, the Lord has been speaking to me about the latter. We tease, we joke so as that we can relax and break the ice. However, the Lord is impressing upon me that such teasing is nothing but destructive. I may sound harsh but as I think about it, it makes alot of sense. Even I am feeling that. For eg, boy A and girl B are being teased. boy A tries to be a good brother-in-Christ by showing care and concern to girl B (vice versa). People who see that action and teased boy A as being interested in girl B and blah blah blah. After a while, both parties will attempt to draw away from one another. And indeed it's sad because something that is right in the eyes of God has been messed up by man. I, myself, is guilty of being the culprit and as I see it now in a new light, I am convinced I want to put a stop to it, beginning in myself. I want to treat my sister-in-Christ well and I will not tolerate any nonsense which will tear down the relationship. And for those whom I have teased before, I want to sincerely ask for your apologies (i know this is a bit insincere) and if in the future, if i do make such teasing commens, pls give a hard knock on my head(I meant literally) Let us all continue to build each other in a Godly relationship that will edify and bring glory to God!
