The words we speak tell us something important about the people we are. The good stuff that comes out of our mouths comes from the good within us, but the evil stuff, says Jesus, comes from inside us too. We cannot pretend it doesn’t.

The Bible tells us these words of Jesus:

”For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.  I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
(Matthew 12:34-37)

..and these from the Apostle Paul:

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good”
(Romans 12:21)

We have a limited amount of time on this earth and there is a limit to the number of words that we can and will speak. It’s up to us to use those words for good, and not for evil.
