The Tongue

Such a curious creature you are! Darting around stirring up trouble. Saying things to bring others down all the while elevating yourself to ecstasy. You get a ride out of insulting others! Can you keep your barnyard shut? Urges overtake you and wildness consumes you like a smoldering fire on the edge of a mighty forest. When will you ever learn your lesson and be calm like a still stream? When will you make it through a single day without hurting someone's feelings? I wish to put a chain on you or seal your movements with super glue. The less you operate, the better off others will be. Tongue, when will you learn your lesson? Will you ever keep your trap shut long enough to hear what others have to say? Try and give it a rest! Will ya? Rest a while so others can be elevated---esteemed. Go on vacation so a little love can be received. The tongue. Gwendolen Rix 12-18-15 The Word of God has many wonderful references on how to tame the tongue. A great passage to read is James chapter 3.
