My Words

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. - Ephesians 4:29

Holding my tongue can be difficult. So often I find myself saying things that later I wish I hadn't said. There are times when I am sarcastic or facetious or I let the zingers fly when what I should have done is said nothing.

How long will it take us to tame our tongues, to realize that words hurt, and truly know that God's plan is for us to edify one another and spur one another on towards a closer relationship with Him?
