False Talk Hit with Truth

I am slowly realizing there is so much false talk in the world.
Sentences filled with fake words.
People, myself included, do not speak truthfully.
However, I desire and choose to live a life full of good intentions and not false chatter.
I pray that my yes be yes' and my no be no's.
May people like me for who I am and not what they want to hear.
May people stop acting like they know it all and start living a life full of CARE and COMPASSION for one another.

Maybe I live in a false dream and these desires may never come forth.
But that doesn't matter to me.
I am the one who makes the choice, to be myself and care for others in ways only God's spirit empowers me to do so.
No one can take that away from me and I cannot change them to act in anyway possible.

I am not perfect and I know I don't do this all the time.
But in the confidence of the Lord I feel like I can say I desire to treat others the same no matter what may happen.
Is this me truly learning to turn my cheek?
I hope so.
