Choosing your words carefully therefore, is very important, for remember life & death are in the power of the tongue..
Be wise & choose to listen to your heart for then, you tune in to what the Spirit of God is saying to you, coming into agreement with the Spirit before you speak..
And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them. (Ephesians 4:29)

“A wise person’s heart controls his speech, and what he says helps others learn….” (Proverbs 16:23)
