Proverbs 16:23-24 KJV
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Wisdom enables us to teach our mouth discipline in a world of hurtful words spoke and sent to fast. Words cannot be deleted once they are received and they add to our reputation good or bad. The bible says that pleasant words are a blessing to people's soul and healing to thier body. Choose today to speak blessings and not curses to or about anyone.
A legacy of words
How we handle people with our mouth is something we all will be remembered for. How do you want to be remembered? I have been to funerals where people said "he was known for giving you a piece of his mind!" I have also been blessed to hear a room of love ones agree that "she never had anything bad to say about anyone." Even though this person was imperfect people remembered mainly thier pleasant words. This person had a teachable mouth.
