Matthew 12:36 NASB "But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment."Words, our words! Today's scripture may just scare us as we think back to what we say and how we say it! With the new year approaching, we may be thinking about a new year's resolution and for me it's to try and watch what I say and how I say it. Our words and the tone in which we say them, can either make things better or worse. I recently sent our a text, meaning well, but without the tone of love, the text was taken wrong. I had to get on the phone and share that I was really trying to make things better by offering some constructive criticism rather than putting them down made the difference. Let's be careful to use our words to share the love of Jesus, even in a text message or in our daily conversations, for words can hurt or help! peace, tom
