Tongue is sharper than the knife

My first real post :-) An inspiring forward that I received ... Practice speaking encouraging words Concentrate on the good qualities in other people that you can affirm and dwell on instead of their faults. Healing words can soothe stress and a peaceful mind leads to improved physical health too. Words can have a permanent effect for good or for evil. And we store it in our minds what others have said to us. But, what type of words you want others to store in their minds is entirly up to you. Avoid fueling verbal fires Be careful about your response when someone starts to blow up all over you. Many marriages have been destroyed in a fit of anger when people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten. A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Don't be a motormouth Listen more than you talk and think about what you're going to say before you say it. Don't just blurt out whatever is on your mind. If you enjoy monopolizing conversations, think about what other people may be experiencing when they're with you. So think before you let something out that you'll regret saying. Choose your thoughts carefully Thought patterns come out sooner or later in your conversations. So never think ill of anyone. Try to get bad things out of your mind as soon as possible. Once the hatred is not in ur mind it will never come in ur words. Pray for healing words to tap the source of wisdom Consider praying about what you are saying. Here's a to-the-point prayer: "Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips" Want to have a better life? Choose better words!
