The tongue is a small member of the human body. It has the potential to create most beautiful things and make the world a better place for humanity. Equally, it has the potential to create wars, miseries, heartbreak, and death.
I am guilty of using words to destroy me and my own relationships and other people. Forgive me God. Help me heal and tame my tongue. Amen!
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue".
"Pleasant words are like honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones".
Becoming aware of my thoughts every moment of my life is important. Because words originate from my thoughts. What am I thinking?
Before speaking, STOP and THINK! Have I chosen the right words to speak?
WORDS, INTENT AND TONE - they all matter!
How will my words, intent and tone affect the outcome? Always think of the person you're speaking to. Be careful with their feelings.
Kez, if you can't find the right words to say in a situation or your thoughts have sped away like a runaway train, and you feel that your tone and intent will be negative, and will affect the receiver in a bad way, remain SILENT.
