Taming the Tongue
"If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all."
“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check...
The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider that a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell...but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” -James‬ â€3:2, 5-6, 8‬ â€NIV‬‬
Oh but God can help change your heart, which will help you control your tongue.
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.””
â€â€Matthew‬ â€19:26‬ â€NIV‬‬
As my Mom says, "Watch your mouth!" And think about how your words taste before you serve them to someone else.
Be blessed and a blessing.
