Hi Everyone
This morning before stepping out for school, mum taught me about the unseen power that is in my tongue
The greatest challenge of humanity is how to use the tongue.
Many people instead of building their lives by what the say, they destroy it.
She warned me never to speak both good and evil with my mouth at the same time.
She said, The greatest enemy of humanity is the tongue.
James 3:
If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you’d have a perfect person, in perfect control of life.
A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything—or destroy it!
