13:2
A man shall eat
well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on
violence.

The tongue is a
hidden part of the body, yet the most dangerous. Many people reap bad fruits
simply because they do not guard their mouth. However, some of them reap good
fruits because of their own words. God made everything with a good purpose.
Nothing God created
that has bad purpose. May your tongue be an offering to bless a lot of people. The
Scripture says: “Out of the same mouth
proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” (James
3:10)
How to guard the
tongue and speak only words of encouragement? It’s by guarding the heart.
Keep
your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.
(Proverb 4:23)
Heart is the source
of life. When you are happy, speaking words of encouragement is definitely
easy. But how it could be during the depression or facing troubles? Could you say
words of encouragement in that situation?
When you are able
to guard your heart, then you can guard your mouth. It’s because what comes
from mouth comes from the heart. “Put away
from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.”(Proverb 4:24)
No
matter what your situation is, just guard your heart and speak the words of
encouragement.
