How are we going to use them? Once they leave our mouth, it's done, you can't take them back. In Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) it says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." So if we pursue to walk in the Fruits of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, kindness, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, goodness, and self-control, just think how our words would come out!
In Matt 12:33-34 (NKJV) it says, "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."
So when we are in those moments and get squeezed, my prayer is that all of my words are to bring forth life, blessings, peace, encouragement and love.
Let's be a blessing to others and let our light shine in a world that sooooo needs God's love!
