Do you want to live a long, good life, enjoying the beauty that fills each day? Then never speak a lie or allow wicked words to come from your mouth. Words are the downfall of so many of us. We forget how much power there is in words. In a single word we can either curse or bless. James writes - And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame! It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence. Guard what you speak, my dear friend and always strive to speak what is good and what produces fruit over other. What is in your heart will be on your lips, so let the love of God be the very thoughts that you share. You are so much more than what the world produces. You are a child of the God most high, saved and paid for by the blood of Jesus. I speak life over you. Be true in all you say and do.
