What fruit does your mouth produce? Here is a scripture I came to today. The tongue has been an issue with me for years. But after much learning and more yeeeaaarrsss of learning and obeying, trusting, falling, getting back up again, relearning....It is getting EASIER, yes I said easier, to hold my tongue. If there is hope for me, there is hope for you! (In Jesus!) Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of The Love Idol talks about how the cure is in the process.
con·se·quence
\ˈkän(t)-sə-ˌkwen(t)s, -kwən(t)s\
noun
: something that happens as a result of a particular action or set of conditions
: importance or value
Proverbs 18:20
New Life Version (NLV)
20 A man’s stomach will be filled with the fruit of his mouth. He will be filled with what his lips speak.
(This next one helps see the positive side of the coin; having a healthy conversation about things with a trusted friend can really help sometimes, but a reminder if it helps that much when speaking GOOD things, how bad it can be when speaking negative/false things)
Proverbs 18:20
The Message (MSG)
20 Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach; good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest.
Have a good day folksies!
