If we could just tame our TONGUE Our words are very powerful. They impact the people who hear them, whether we speak them directly to someone or they happen to overhear them. Most times we tend to speak whatever comes to mind in just about any situation. But we have learned over the years that this can, most times, be a bad thing. It can lead to hurt feelings, damaged relationships and some serious heartache. And the repercussions from misspoken words can last for years, or even decades. We need to choose our words carefully. We need to think before we speak. And we should never, ever speak out of anger. Anger only lasts a while, but the consequences of words spoken while were angry can last a lifetime. So if were angry, we need to take some time to cool down before we address a situation or speak about something that resulted in our anger. And when we open our mouth to speak, we need to be oh so careful that the words were about to say are words that will be pleasing to God, and not just to let off steam, spout off our opinions or express our frustration. Lets learn to be quick to hear, slow to anger and slow to speak. And if we can learn this, our lives and the lives of those around us will be so much better. #tamingtheUntammabletongue# #Bibleverse
