(James 3:8-10 NKJV) But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. {9} With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. {10} Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
What legacy will we leave?
When we have breathed our last breath, what will be left behind to remind people that we were here on this earth? When they remember us, what will they think of?
This is not a morbid message about dying. It’s a message about living!
Each day we speak words. We speak lots of them. Some of us, depending on our personality, might speak more or less words than others. But at the end of the day. we’ve still spoken lots and lots of words!
What we say to others can sow seeds of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness… God’s qualities, or they can sow seeds of bitterness, strife, anger, hatred… the fruits of the enemy of our soul.
(Proverbs 18:21 NKJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Words can seem so insignificant, but they truly have the power to bring life or bring death. And we need to remember that once words are spoken, they can never be taken back.
Let’s make a decision to choose our words very wisely, regardless of who they are being spoken to.
Our words bring life or death. Speak words of life!
