Watch Your Mouth!

I came to a realization the other day…

Probably one that I should have known for some time.

Maybe even something that I’ve learned in the past,
just never processed.

You never know who’s gonna hear what you say.

When you tweet.
When you blog.
When you preach.
When you speak.

You never know what people are dealing with,
what people are going through.

You never know how they’re going to apply what you say.

I’d hate to find out that something I said caused someone else to do something really stupid.
That they trusted MY advice,
and it messed them up.

It’s important that we speak truth.
That what we say is known to be true.
That we are specific in our explanation of truth.
That we never make bold claims without knowing them to be true.

The solution?

We speak truth.
We speak God’s words.

If we do that,
we can be confident that God’s going to direct it where it should go.

Watch your mouth…
You never know who may actually listen.
