Words, Words, Words

We use a lot of words, but they are not always good and wise. There is peril and danger when dealing with fools who have destructive tongues. But a wise person's words are full of grace, like Jesus' words were. Are our personal lives rooted in Christ so that our words flowing out of our mouths are steeped in grace? God takes words seriously. Words have meaning and they have the ability to impart life and grace. Do we take it seriously that we have the blessing to choose to speak wholesome words of grace and truth, just like the example Jesus set for us? Are the words we speak full of love, or are they simply a multiplication of foolishness?
