A helpful reading this morning. Realization that almost all of my suffering and the suffering I’ve caused had its beginnings with things said by my unruly tongue. Our words are powerful. Be careful what is said about yourself and others. I’ve spoken blessings and cursings from the same mouth. My tongue is unruly and cannot be tamed but I can work on it. That’s the thing with God. Unlike many have taught me, God is full of pity, mercy, and understanding. God will help me with my, oft times, unruly tongue because God says He will help me if I ask help. I ask help to be more positive. I will work on limiting my speech to yes, no, and edification. Why speak cursings or be negative over situations? I’m here for only a little while and then my spirit leaves this place of uncertainty and goes back to a place of eternal certainty. I shall enjoy the adventure of uncertainty while I’m here. I shall redeem the time, starting now. No vows. I cannot make anything happen or not happen. I’m just a man. God knoweth my entire heart concerning these things.
A testimony and obedience ~ confess your faults one to another and pray for one another.
