Tame that tongue.

A few incidents led me to be really convicted that when one is consumed by anger, or even hatrd, he can hardly control his tongue. Wicked and deceitful words are often then spoken and they harm, they hurt. Just take a couple who quarrels for example, it's has become rather common for them to say hurtful things like ' i regret marrying you', ' i hate u', ' let's divorce'... Such are things satan places in our minds when we are angry. Hahs, never underestimate the repercussions of such careless remarks. I am sure when such remarks are said, it subconsciously seeps into our minds and slowly we are deceived into believing them. Worse remarks will then be thrown at each other in subsequent quarrels.. and tadah, it opens the floodgates to future hurtful comments.

For us to make sure we dont use words that are wicked or seductive or deceitful, we must ask God to give us restraint-- to help us say only what is positive and heloful. The Holy Spirit can guide us to be even tempered.
