Powerful Tongue

The tongue is one of the smallest parts of the body and
yet it can trip us up more than anything else. Without

the proper focus we use it to scathingly insult people, light up a room with sarcastic remarks under the guise of humor, and spread vicious gossip that never helps but always hurts others. Our tongue can also be used to speak words of blessing, offer encouragement to the down-hearted, and proffer wisdom in good timing and patience. Each of us has the choice to use this power for good or to wantonly waste our words while leaving a trail of collateral damage. Choose wisely what words you will speak.
