MY JOURNEY

Pro 12:18 Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.Pro 15:1 A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. Pro 16:24 Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.Pro 21:23 Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.

Mat 12:35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.

HOW ARE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS?

ISSUES OF MY HEART, MY TONGUE?

MATTHEW 18

JAS 1:19  UNDERSTAND THIS, MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS: YOU MUST ALL BE QUICK TO LISTEN, SLOW TO SPEAK, AND SLOW TO GET ANGRY.

JAS 3:2  INDEED, WE ALL MAKE MANY MISTAKES. FOR IF WE COULD CONTROL OUR TONGUES, WE WOULD BE PERFECT AND COULD ALSO CONTROL OURSELVES IN EVERY OTHER WAY. JAS 3:8  BUT NO ONE CAN TAME THE TONGUE.

JAS 3:9  SOMETIMES IT PRAISES OUR LORD AND FATHER, AND SOMETIMES IT CURSES THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. JAS 3:10  AND SO BLESSING AND CURSING COME POURING OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH.

person/people• Never respond in the emotion• Listen well – take what is said to God – respond

– leave it at the throne• Apologise if needed• Don’t have expectations towards the other
