“I tell ya sometimes it’s easy to start rambling and talking and saying a whole bunch of nothings really..Amen..and before long you’ve rambled and said things that you shouldn’t have even said..I tell ya guys none of us are perfect that is a given we all know that..and sometimes we all do this..sometimes we say things and bring up things that honestly should be under the blood of Jesus..we all know never to be brought up again..Amen..but how many of ya know what I’m talking about?..or I am just the only one?…because the bible speaks a lot about our tongues..and speaks a lot about our words that we speak and them things that we say..for it says in the book of James that the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceeds blessings and cursings..it said these things ought not so to be..it goes on to say, does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth…James 3:8-14..and what necessarily does that mean if we have bitter envying and strife in our hearts?..Well, it means that when we haven’t really forgiven someone or if we have envy towards another then we do and we will say things towards them..things that we shouldn’t be saying..and we begin to mumble around just spewing whatever in the world we want to from our mouth..which is no good for us or for the other person in whom we may be speaking of..Amen!”

“But aren’t ever so glad that when we do say something or speak derogatory, against another..that the Lord in His love corrects us…Hebrews 12:6/Proverbs 3:12..Amen..don’t you just love when that happens?..for me I love when the Lord shows His love for me by correcting me and convicting me when I do wrong or say something wrong and in doing so it helps me to grow up as a person and as a child of God..I had a meeting with one of my bosses..and these are the words he said to me..if you’re unclear with someone then you are as well being unkind to them..for in other words if you just constantly tell someone what they want to hear other than speaking the truth then you’re not helping them but rather your hurting them..like our children we correct them and all the while will say to them..I am doing this or saying this because I love you..and I only want what’s best for you..so the tongue of ours is a place as to where we learn to let go and we learn to speak life..we learn to not ramble everything..Amen..and we learn that if we weren’t going to say something in front of another person then honestly we shouldn’t say anything at all..but more than that we should not ever just talk about people..for really it is the most terrible thing ever..when we talk and talk about other people..for there are many things we can choose to speak about..so let us find helpful and meaningful things to talk about..let us help ourselves by yet once again helping ourselves..for you see death and life are in the power of our tongues and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21..so let us eat good fruit..Amen..and let us go back to that beautiful and golden rule which is to say..that if you don’t have anything nice to say..then choose rather to say nothing at all..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
