Our Tongue can bless, Our tongue can curse;
"If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless." Jame1:26
I always drop in to the trap by didn't control my tongue. i didn't remember how many peoples hurt grievoulsy because of my tongue.
"The tongue has the power of life and death,and those who love it will eat its fruits.". proverb18:21
Every time, i once realized that my words hurt someone eventhough it just was a joke. i felt regret and scored myself. "Why!why!why give ways to satan. Don't you forget what the bible teached". Uncontrolled word once spoken cannot be taken back. It take long time to forgot and forgive.It will cause pain and feelings of rejection to others. They give rise to insecurity. Sorry, my friend who has been hurted by me
"he who guards his mouth and his tongue keep himself from calamity."Proverb21:23
All of us have to exercise self-control. But it is not an easy thing to control our tongue when we are provoked, boiled over with anger or have outburst of wrath. It is at such time that we have to learn to hold our tongue and to remain silent. If we can’t tame our tongue, we have to take a break or go for a walk to cool off. It is much easier to control the words before the blow-up than during the explosion.
"When words are many,sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongues is wise."Proverb10:19
Bible is clearly stated that if we cant tame our tongue, its better remain silent especially in the anger.Father Henri Nouwen said, “It is so important to choose our words wisely. When we are boiling with anger and eager to throw bitter words at our opponents, it is better to remain silent. Words spoken in rage will make reconciliation very hard. Choosing life and not death, blessings and not curses, often starts by choosing to remain silent or choosing carefully the words that open the way to healing.” (“Bread for the Journey,” Sept 5)
"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.” (Ephesians 4:29 TEV)
We should be greatest ENCOURAGER. Encourage. Encourage. Encourage on every occasion. St Paul advises us not to speak harmful words but to use helpful words.
As Henri Nouwen said, “Words can bring consolation, comfort, encouragement, and hope. Words can take away fear, isolation, shame, and guilt. Words can reconcile, unite, forgive, and heal. Words can bring peace and joy, inner freedom and deep gratitude. Words, in short, can carry love on their wings. A word of love can be one of the greatest acts of love.” (“Bread for the Journey,” June 22)
When we choose to speak words of care, words of encouragement, words of praise, words of love, words of admiration, positive words---they uplift and give meaning to our lives.
Pls Remember In Your Whole Life. Jacob
