Watch out! For what comes out of your mouth!

ByHanna Shiferaw

There was a friend of mine who always keeps silent when we chat and have fun together. Often, he speaks slowly and of course a few words only. One day I asked him why? Why he is like this? He answered that his family made him that way. “When I try to talk, they say ‘Keep silent, that is the way you are.’ Therefore, I became more silent even if I wanted to talk.”

Have you ever get hearted by what somebody said to you? You may have. Okay! Have you ever heart somebody with what comes from your mouth? Probably. What we say affects people more than any other action we take.

People have controlled all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea. They still control them. But, no one control the tongue. It is an evil thing that never rests. It is full of deadly poison.
James 3:7 /NIrV/

Think before speaking. Know when silence is best, and give wise advice. Because, your tongue is like a fire.

The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It pollutes the whole person. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. James 3:6 /NIrV/
