You will have to live with the consequences of everything you say. What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.
Proverbs 18:20-21
When was the last time you said something you regretted the second the words left your mouth? Have you ever said something hurtful to someone just to hurt them? Have you ever said something you did not mean?
Now, let me ask you something, when a tank fires a round....can that round be unfired? When we say something we wish we hadn't, can we unsay those words?
Have you ever wished you could have said something when you actually didn't?
Think of the last time you spoke words of caring and support at the right time.
Think of the last time you spoke words of gratitude and you received a smile in return.
That great theologian, George Carlin, said, "I love words! The same words we use to hurt can also heal." He has a point. And here's today's point: When we speak, we must live with the consequences, good or bad.
Before speaking your mind, make sure to use your mind to filter your words. Choose your words wisely.
