People know you by your words

Have u ever had words just pop out of ur mouth without consciously thinking about them? I do and it is very often! U know wat, it's so common. May be it's funny or a little embarrassing. Or may be u and I are ashamed because something hurtful or rude or colourful words came flying out of the mouth.

Haiz sad, isn't it. Let's picture the last time we had a fight with someone, anyone. How i wish i didn't do tat or how regret i am now! It brings back all my sad memories. How about u? Were u surprised to hear urself throwing out totally hateful things? Or are people around u constantly blessed by ur kind words? Do u find urself getting carried away with telling sick stories, ripping on people you don't like, or laughing about things tat dishonor God? Or are ur conversations examples of godliness? Many time i didn't realised it and i was so get use to it. Wonder how many people i had hurt them badly. It just cant help it.

As i read this verse from Matthew 12:35-36, Jesus taught tat the mouth is like an overflow valve for the heart. Whatever our heart's filled with spill out of our mouth when we least expect it. Just because we say something accidentally doesn't mean it's OK!!! We'll be held responsible for every careless words! Scary isnt it!

If u find ur mouth spouting inappropriate or wrong things, whether u are joking around, speaking in anger, or jus having an everyday conversation, check ur heart first. We might find some things in there tat need to change.

Ask God to reshape our heart. He will always help us when we ask, everyone shud know! Read James 3 for some awesome advice bout controlling the tongue. How do i know all this? I read it from the bible magazine. Remember wat Uncle Richard preach on one of the Sunday! About how powerful words can be! We can either curse others or even curse ourself.

There is a persistent battle going on for purity in my heart, which is same goes to everyone's heart, and tat battle often overflow into conversations. Avoid careless talk and choose to use words tat show a heart full of God's truth and love. Never give up!
