"Loving others isn't a gentle suggestion by Jesus - it's a command. Since our words are such a critical indication of whether or not we love someone, we would do well to carefully watch what we say." (page 108, Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl)
Slap my mouth!
Watch your words - it shows your love - or your lack of it!
Psalm 19:14 - May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord
Proverbs 10:19- When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise
James 3:10- Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
Words matter. Words can be love carriers, or love killers. Choose your words wisely & lovingly!
As Lysa says, (p. 111), be "committed to loving words."
