While reading my latest book, i read one paragraph that effected me more than the whole brilliant book. Since the minute i read this one paragraph, God has really spoken to me about it and opened a floodgate of change into my life!

This is it...

Christ said that, "Men will have to give account for every

careless word spoken." [Matt 12:35-37]

If God records even our careless words, how much more will he

take into account our calculated boastfull claims,

our cutting criticisms of others, our off-colour jokes,

and our unkind comments.

This effected me so much because my biggest problem in my life, is my mouth. Of course i didn't realise just how much untill this moment, when it all became so painfully clear!

But what also became clear, was that the problems with my mouth effect every part of my life in one way or another. I'm a noisey person who doesn't really say much important or valuable stuff & i'm always goofing around. I've sort of accepted that my social job in life is just to inject pointless humour into conversations because i don't have anything worthwhile to bring to the table [so to speak]. That's not a put down towards myself. That's seriously, brutaly honestly how it really is! I just don't know how to be any other way.

Untill now.

Now, God won't lead us to something without leading us through it. So since i read the above paragraph, he's been pointing out stuff that needs to be changed, and giving me the opportunities to alter my words before they fall out of my mouth.

God has a big job ahead of him on this project! He's asking me to change 99% of my verbal activity, and all i can say is, I'm really glad he's in charge, coz i couldn't do it without him at the wheel!

Thank you God for being the most awesome, Loving, teacher a gal could have! :o)
