My Mouth

The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
Proverbs 13:3 HCSB

Being careful with what we speak is important. Not only can we injure ourselves but more importantly we injure others.
I have noticed this more when someone like me comes along and in fun I say too much, go too far with the fun or perhaps they do.

We can hurt others with loose lips, by divulging too much about them to others. They may like to keep private about themselves and because we are with another feeling close we talk about friends in ways we shouldn't, in other words, gossip. Gossip is tasty to the ones involved but can destroy reputations.

I have recently made a new friend who is like me in many ways. I am having a revelation about myself. Now I understand a whole lot more. God is good to show us ourselves in others, we can look and learn. Amen!
