Are You Misguided Or Wise
Are You Misguided Or Wise?
Written: by Miracle man

Words too quickly spoken expose our thoughts,
words convey our ideas which are often ersatz.
We carefully parse and throw at others as darts,
because the tongue speaks what fills our hearts.
God is the one who has granted us our voices,
HE also gave us freedom to make word choices.
To be used to glorify HIM, and blessing of others,
without intent to hurt neither stranger or brothers.
Our speech exposes each, as being misguided or wise,
and what a heart dishes no tongue can disguise.
We’re exposed each time, when in anger, we lash out,
because an unbridled tongue isn’t wholly devout.
James 3:8-10 King James Version (KJV)
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
