Jas 3:5 “Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!”
How can something so small be so destructive! What we don’t say is equally, if not more, as important than what we do say. Interesting that (vs 2) tells us, if we can control the tongue, we can control the body. And yet we spend endless energy trying to get the body in shape, and it should be our tongue! Before we exercise our tongues consider, is what we say true, edifying, necessary, and kind? What we say is not to be done to make us feel better, but to encourage and strengthen those who hear.
Sadly, the tongue weighs practically nothing, yet few can hold it… HSAY
