I sure wish life had a fast UNDO button. Just think, that stupid, hurtful remark slips out from your lips. You immediately realized the error and unwanted potential consequences and hit the UNDO button. BAMMM! You get a do-over, and there is no harm to the relationship.
Sometimes it's even later than when the words slip out. Not knowing what the other person is going through, their whole story, can make well-intentioned words that would be right in another situation the wrong words for this situation. This seems to happen to me when I don't stop, breathe, and pray. The Father knows all aspects of every life circumstance from all perspectives. Asking Him for the best words, the best next action, is the surest way of not needing the UNDO button.
