I really used to struggle with my mouth and with the things that fly out and with the words that I say and things that I do. And lately that part of my flesh has been rearing it's ugly and really awful head and I hate it.
I said things today in a conversation with someone I really love out of frustration and annoyance and stress and well, just plain sin.
I say things and immediately regret them and I speak with a tone that is so easily taken for frustration. I have allowed my heart and my mind to be burdened with stresses of life and out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks...thus causing a hardcore appointment with humility and Jesus...
The Word says the tongue can build up or tear down, it can encourage or discourage and today I did all the worst of those. So as I spend time in the Word and with the Lord, this is what I've got.
I'm sorry Lord. Forgive me. Replace stress, sadness, frustration, hurt, etc. With your overflowing grace, peace and joy. I love You and help me to tireless love Your children and the people You've given in my life. That I would honor, love, and respect them and be more of the women You 'be intended me to be.
So that's all from me tonight...a little bit of honesty.
