A sharp tongue inflicts a lot of pain, and causes an unmeasurable amount of damage..For this reason it is preferred to be the first weapon of choice, but the last line of defense. What and/or who created this mentality, that the one who hurts the most by these empty words, has lost the war? Perhaps the ones who hurt the most are only a pure reflection of God's tears. Perhaps these tears are not a result of such venomous tongues, but in fact tears of His children that now carry the cross that was once carried for them. One day closer to eternal happiness, one day further from such sharp tongues. Such sharp tongues; tongues created from fear of a war that they know they will lose.
James 3:1-12 talks about the tongue having the power to bless or curse, to give strength or destroy.
ReplyDeleteJesus also speaks of the tongue being the instrument that reveals the heart of a person, and that every person will be held accountable for their words(Matthew 12:33-37).
