What we say, when we say it and how we say it all have an effect on who we say it to. Our words can both tear down and build up, deceive and enlighten, harm and help. It is essential we ask God for His help in safeguarding our tongues, because the power they yield can either be life-giving or life-draining. We never leave others the same. Our words always make a difference in one way or another. We speak life to others when we repeat what God says to us in the Bible. His truth. His commands. His promises. His good news. When we rightly speak of Jesus, the sweet fruit of the gospel can be eaten by all who hear.
