Watch your Mouth!

Luke 6:45 " A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh"


As a child I can remember being taught "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me". That's a cute little saying, but the reality is that I don't remember any sticks and stones that I've encountered; however, I can specifically recite things that have been said to me that affected me both negatively and postively. Words have power -- power to break a person down as well as power to build a person up. Do an inventory on what flows from your mouth daily, weekly, and even monthly to evaluate how you are using the power of your tongue.


What you say is a good indication of the condition of your heart...are you evil-hearted or good-hearted? The tongue is a small tool, but when used a certain way it can become a deadly weapon. Watch what you say to people and be careful how you say it because in the end what you say about or to someone else actually says a lot more about you, your character, and your heart.
