The power of the tongue. Ephesians 4:29

I know that the HS is working in my heart because I do not feel the same anymore. It used to be I would say something crude or vulgar without thinking about it. Now I feel that battle going on inside . Most of the time, I keep  my mouth shut. But there are times I still mess up. I feel remorse and ask forgiveness.  There is life and death in the power of the tongue.  The bible tells us not to let any corrupt talk come out of our mouth. That consist of lying, crude language or curse words, gossip and sexual innuendo. We need to be diligent on guarding what we see, read and hear. Because once we put it in the mind, it does not come out. Plus if we continually expose our selves to corrupt ideas and  ungodly situations, it is bound to come out of the mouth.Our tongue speaks what is deep in the heart. So use your tongue to speak life into those around you. Lift them up when they fall. Show love and compassion to those you meet. When you fail, seek forgiveness and try again.
