Proverbs 10:11

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 10:11)

Plenty of people have things to say. However, at each extreme, one brings us life and the other end ultimately incites violence. People may not want to punch us when we lose control of our tongue in a given situation, but which camp are we in at that time. Are we in the camp whose tongue brings life or the camp whose tongue brings death? Every moment of everyday our tongues are basically either feeding others according to their needs or selfishly taking out our frustrations on others. Don’t kid yourself. People don’t need a piece of your mind. What they need is a piece of an honest, loving heart that is trying to lead them away from doing the things the wrong way to doing things the right way.
