Words are seeds. You'll harvest whatever you've been planting. In your marriage, with your kids, at work, online. James says nobody can tame the tongue, and I believe him. I've been talking for a living for more than three decades and I'm still honest about my own mouth.
Some of us say things we regret before the coffee's done. Some of us complain without noticing, or gossip and call it sharing. And some of us are still carrying something someone else said years ago. Before you say it or post it, ask: is it true, is it loving, does it glorify God?
These devotionals on the words you say each end with one concrete thing to say or not say today. If the problem is what was said to you, start with the ones on the words we absorb.
